Chart view
Set it up in the Layout panel
Section titled “Set it up in the Layout panel”A chart view draws a single chart from the items the view’s filters allow. Open Layout in the toolbar to set it up:
- Chart type picks the shape.
- Data sets what is measured and how it is split.
- Display sets stacking, sort and how many categories are drawn.
Pick the chart type
Section titled “Pick the chart type”| Type | What it draws |
|---|---|
| Bar | one bar per category |
| Line | one point per category, joined |
| Area | a line with the space under it filled |
| Pie and Donut | one slice per category |
| Number | one figure, no axis |
Choose what to measure
Section titled “Choose what to measure”- Count (items) counts items.
- Count with value counts items whose field is filled.
- Count values counts every value, so a multi-value field counts each one.
- Distinct count counts how many different values appear.
- Sum, Average, Min, Max, Median and % of total read number, formula and tracked time fields.
Every choice except Count (items) needs a Field. For the numeric choices, Use rolled-up totals measures each parent item’s rolled-up subtree total and skips the items inside that subtree.
Split and sort the categories
Section titled “Split and sort the categories”Break down by splits each bar into segments. Stacking then draws bar and area segments grouped, stacked or 100% stacked. A date field, or a formula that returns a date, on the axis groups by Day, Week, Month, Quarter or Year.
Sort orders categories by value, by label or in their default order. Show top draws only the largest categories. Remaining groups the rest as “Other” or hides them.
Open the items behind a bar
Section titled “Open the items behind a bar”Click a bar or a slice. A bucket that holds one item opens that item’s detail drawer directly. A bucket that holds several items opens a side panel listing them, and clicking a row opens that item.
