How to Configure Chart

Before you begin

Charts are based on existing configurations of Metrics or Aggregations used as a Source type:

Metric
Uses a single metric to build a graphical representation.
The Metric needs to be created in advance, for instructions, see Metrics.
Aggregations
Allows building a diagram based on one metric and one Dimension from an existing Aggregations configuration.
The Aggregations need to be created in advance, for instructions, see Aggregations.

Note. The list of accessible chart settings may vary depending on both, the chosen Source type, and the type of the selected Metric.

How to configure

Open the Chart list. To do this, click > Project configuration > Charts.
Open Chart Editor by clicking + Create.
Name
Enter a name for the new chart to be displayed in charts' lists. This field is Mandatory.
Type
Select the chart visualization form. Click on the type name in the list below to go to the settings description.

Number
Shows a numeric value of a metric.
Line chart
Displays a line graph of the chosen metric's values distribution, with a metric value on the Y-axis and time range on the X-axis.
Bar chart
Displays a histogram of the chosen metric's values distribution broken down by Dimensions (pairs of event and attribute), with a metric value on the Y-axis and Dimension value on the X-axis.
Pie chart
Displays a circular diagram of a metric broken down by Dimensions. The entire pie is 100 percent of a metric value, and its slices represent chosen dimensions.
Combination
Allows displaying both Line chart and Bar chart based on different metrics in one view for comparison.

Source type
Select what to base the chart on: Metrics or Aggregations. The Metrics source type is set by default.
Metric
This field is mandatory. Click the field and select the metric from the drop-down list to base a chart on it. The list of available metrics is formed automatically and depends on the selected Source type.

If you selected Metrics as the Source type, then the list will contain all available metrics that are created in the current project.
You can also create new metrics right from Chart editor. Click three vertical dots next to the Provide a metric name... field to open the Metric list window. In this window, you can see all metrics, created in the current project, edit them and create new ones.
If you selected Aggregations in the Source type, then the list will contain only metrics included in the current aggregations' configuration.

Time range
Define the interval the chart data should fall within:

All time from the uploaded data. This is the time interval from the earliest to the latest, which can be found in the timestamp field of the timelines.
Certain period between the selected dates.
Current, previous, or sliding period from daily to yearly. Choose the Up to last datapoint option to use the latest timeline timestamp as the maximum.

Further settings depend on the selected metric Type. For detailed instructions, see Chart types settings.
Add a description for the chart that will help you identify it in other tools, such as Dashboard.

Chart title
Define a name to be displayed on the chart.
Subtitle
Add an additional name to clarify the chart's purpose. Can be helpful if you, for example, have look-alike charts based on the same data, but with different settings.
Description
Give more details about the chart's settings and the data it is based on. Can be regarded as a "legend".

Check that the chart configuration meets your needs with the help of a preview on the right.
Click Save.

Chart types settings

Number

Line chart

Displays a line graph of the chosen metric's values distribution, with a metric value on the Y-axis and time range on the X-axis.

Interval
To configure the time step for the X-axis, choose between daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly ranges.
Include item in interval if contains
Display events based on their occurrence in timelines: first, last, or any event.
Note. Unavailable if Aggregations is chosen as the Source type.
Y-Axis label
Specify the axis name to identify the data it represents.
Datapoints threshold
Define the maximum of datapoints shown on the chart. For example, you have 25 items in the metric, but you want to show only 10 on the chart. To do this, add the desired value here. The line graph will display 10 average points instead of 25.
Threshold lines
If needed, add supplementary lines on each axis to visually specify some threshold values on the chart. You can add several lines, color them differently, and add labels for each line. The input type may differ depending on the chosen metric:

Number - enter an integer value, only digits input is supported.
Date - click and select a day in the drop-down calendar, or enter a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. For example: 03/28/2022.
Time - enter time in the format years?:months?:days?:hours:minutes:seconds.
The placeholder text 0:00:00 stands for hours:minutes:seconds, these blocks are mandatory. If you want to specify years or days, make sure to add them to the left. For example:
- 1:07:16:00:00:00 adds a threshold line on the point of 1 year, 7 months, and 16 days.
- 23:00:00:00 adds a threshold line on the point of 23 days.
Note. The entered values are converted according to unit limits. For example, if you enter 25:00:00 (25 hours), then the program will automatically convert it to 1:00:60:00 (1 day and 60 minutes).

Bar chart

Displays a histogram of the chosen metric's values distribution broken down by Dimensions (pairs of event and attribute), with a metric value on the Y-axis and Dimension value on the X-axis.

Breakdown
Add a Dimension to form the X-axis. This field is Mandatory.
Important. If Aggregations is chosen as the Source type, only dimensions added to the current aggregations' configurations are available. Make sure to create dimensions in advance in the Aggregations editor.
Include item in group if contains
Display events based on their occurrence in timelines: first, last, or any event.
Note. Unavailable if Aggregations is chosen as the Source type.
Sorting order
Choose how the values will be sorted on the chart: Alphabetical or Value based. The sorting order can be Ascending or Descending.
You can also create a Custom sorting order by marking the respective checkbox. In the appeared list, drag the elements to reach the needed sequence. You can also add new X-axis labels to the sort order. To do it, specify their names and click +add. They will be applied only if corresponding values already exist in the chart. If needed, revert the changes by clicking Reset. You can import or export a custom sorting file in CSV format.
Datapoints threshold
Define the maximum of datapoints shown on the chart. For example, you have 25 timelines in the metric, but you want to show only 10 on the chart. To do this, add the desired value here. There will be 10 average bars displayed on the histogram instead of 25. Choose the Group the rest option to merge the values that do not fit the threshold settings in one bar.
Threshold lines
If needed, add supplementary lines on each axis to visually specify some threshold values on the chart. You can add several lines, color them differently, and add labels for each line. The input type may differ depending on the chosen metric:

Number - enter an integer value, only digits input is supported.
Date - click and select a day in the drop-down calendar, or enter a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. For example: 03/28/2022.
Time - enter time in the format years?:months?:days?:hours:minutes:seconds.
The placeholder text 0:00:00 stands for hours:minutes:seconds, these blocks are mandatory. If you want to specify years or days, make sure to add them to the left. For example:
- 1:07:16:00:00:00 adds a threshold line on the point of 1 year, 7 months, and 16 days.
- 23:00:00:00 adds a threshold line on the point of 23 days.
Note. The entered values are converted according to unit limits. For example, if you enter 25:00:00 (25 hours), then the program will automatically convert it to 1:00:60:00 (1 day and 60 minutes).
