Analytics widget chart types

You can select the chart type for your widget to configure how the data is displayed.

Note: The chart types that are compatible with your query are automatically available to select. Any chart types that do not meet the criteria for your query and are not compatible are disabled and cannot be selected.

This table shows the chart types that may be available for the Analytics widget:


Chart type	Description
Area	Emphasizes the magnitude of change over time by filling the area between the line and the axis. Useful for showing accumulated totals.
Area spline	Similar to an area chart, but uses smooth curves (splines) to connect the data points, creating a softer, flowing visualization.
Bar	Uses horizontal bars to represent data values. Effective for comparing discrete categories.
Bar - stacked	Displays multiple measures stacked on top of each other within each bar, showing the composition of each category. Note: This is only available if multiple measures are used.
Bar - percent	Similar to stacked bar charts but displays each segment as a percentage of the total for that category, making it easy to compare proportions. Note: This is only available if multiple measures are used.
Bubble	Uses circles (bubbles) of varying sizes to represent data points, with the size corresponding to a third dimension known as the Size Bucket. Useful for showing relationships between three variables. Note: This is only available if the Size Bucket is defined.
Column	Uses vertical bars to represent data values. Like bar charts, effective for comparing discrete categories.
Column stacked	Displays multiple measures stacked on top of each other within each column, showing the composition of each category. Note: This is only available if multiple measures are used.
Column percent	Similar to stacked column charts but displays each segment as a percentage of the total for that category, making it easy to compare proportions. Note: This is only available if multiple measures are used.
Donut	A circular chart with a hole in the center. Similar to a pie chart, it shows parts of a whole, but the center can be used for additional information. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment and the Hole Size settings for the chart.
Gauge	A gauge chart uses a radial scale with a needle to display a single value within a defined range. It visually represents how a value is performing relative to a target or a range of acceptable values. Gauge charts are effective for displaying KPIs, progress towards a goal, or current status against benchmarks. Note: Allows you to configure the Hole Size, Needle, Layout, and Angle settings for the chart. See Using unique chart type configurations to learn more about the configuration options for gauge charts.
Semi-donut	A donut chart that only displays half of the circle. Useful when needing to save space or emphasize a specific portion of the data. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment and the Hole Size settings for the chart.
Heat map	Uses color intensity to represent data values in a grid format. Useful for visualizing patterns and correlations in large datasets.
KPI (Key performance indicator)	Focuses on displaying a single, crucial metric with a clear visual representation, often including a target or comparison value.
Funnel - height	Represents a process with decreasing stages, where the height of each stage corresponds to its value. Shows progression and potential bottlenecks. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment settings for the chart.
Funnel - width	Uses the width of each stage to represent its value. Also shows progression and potential bottlenecks. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment settings for the chart.
Line	Connects data points with lines, showing trends and changes over time. Effective for continuous data.
Points	Displays individual data points without connecting lines. Useful for showing the distribution of data and identifying clusters or outliers.
Pie	A circular chart divided into slices representing proportions of a whole. Effective for showing parts of a whole but can be difficult to interpret with many slices. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment settings for the chart.
Pyramid	Similar to a funnel chart, but uses triangular shapes stacked on top of each other. Often used to show hierarchical data or population distributions. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment settings for the chart.
Scatter	Plots data points on a graph with two axes, showing the relationship between two variables. Useful for identifying correlations and patterns.
Spline	Similar to a line chart, but uses smooth curves (splines) to connect the data points, creating a softer, flowing visualization.
Table	Presents data in a grid format with rows and columns. Useful for displaying precise values and detailed information.
Crosstab	A table that summarizes data by showing the relationship between two or more categorical variables. Note: This is only available if the row header is defined.
Tree map	Displays hierarchical data as nested rectangles, with the size of each rectangle proportional to its value. Effective for visualizing large amounts of hierarchical data.
Waterfall - vertical	Shows the cumulative effect of positive and negative values on an initial value. Useful for understanding the composition of a final value. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment settings for the chart.
Waterfall - horizontal	Similar to a vertical waterfall chart, but the flow is displayed horizontally. Note: Allows you to configure the Segment settings for the chart.
