Serial charts

Line chart

A line chart connects all values with straight lines. The thickness of the lines can be determined by the 'Line thickness', the 'Line alpha' determines the transparency of the lines.

If the 'Fill alpha' is set to a value greater than 0, an area chart is created.

Area chart

An area chart is a line graph where the area between the line and the respective selected axis are filled in color ('Fill alpha').

Any chart can be changed to an area chart using the 'Areas' preset.

Bar chart

A bar chart (also a column chart) draws bars at the height of the respective values. The width of the bars has no meaning.

The following is an example with different visibilities for lines and graphs.

Step chart

A step chart draws horizontal lines with the required width at the height of the values.

Below is an example with the fill alpha set to 0 (transparent) and no bullets.

Curve chart

A curve chart is a step chart, where the lines are smoothed to form a curve.

The following is an example with values as bullets, without grid (visibility 0) and with 'Show info tooltip' turned on.

Processing input data

The data of a measured value can be processed further via the 'Item click' and 'Item double click' triggering behaviour.
The object that is passed to the configured behaviour as input data is primarily a data provider, which contains all raw data sets that have been aggregated to the clicked value.
Tip: With the action 'Show raw data of dashboard' this raw data can be displayed in a grid.

Furthermore, this object offers other data fields:

Data field

Description

value

The value that was clicked

category

The value of the category

categoryLabel

The category label

series

The series configuration, which in turn contains the following data fields:

Data field

Description

label

The label of the series

aggregator

The aggregator used (dynamic enumeration)

attribute

The configuration of the attribute used.
The data field name can be read out via the 'dataField' data field
