Chart component examples

These are examples on using the Chart component on Experience Designer.

Sorting buyers by purchase order count

A data service returns 100 purchase orders when Max number of records is set to 100. The chart uses By count to group the purchase orders by buyer (BUYE). The result is 12 unique buyers. Specific settings are configured for the chart:

Setting Value
Aggregation type By count
Label field BUYE - Buyer
Sort by Aggregated value
Sort order Descending
Max values to display 5

The chart shows the 5 buyers with the highest purchase order counts, sorted by count among all 12 buyers. The counts are based on all 100 retrieved records.

Buyer Purchase orders Displayed
BUYE-003 18 Yes
BUYE-007 15 Yes
BUYE-001 12 Yes
BUYE-011 10 Yes
BUYE-005 9 Yes
Other seven buyers 36 total No

Effect of changing sorting options

You can show the same buyer counts by group in different ways based on the sort options that you select. If you change Sort order to Ascending, the 12 buyers are ordered from lowest count to highest count, and the chart shows the 5 buyers with the fewest purchase orders.

Buyer Purchase orders Displayed
BUYE-010 3 Yes
BUYE-008 4 Yes
BUYE-012 5 Yes
BUYE-004 6 Yes
BUYE-002 7 Yes
Other seven buyers 75 total No

If Sort by is changed to Field and the label field BUYE - Buyer is selected, the chart is ordered alphabetically by buyer instead of by count. With Sort order set to Ascending, the first five buyer IDs are displayed.
