Introduction to Building Charts

Overview

Once you have the data elements defined for a widget (via the Resource tab in the Widget Editor), you can choose how you want to represent the analysis. This means you choose the widget type, via the Type section of the Settings tab of the Widget Editor.

Widget Types

Depending on the type of data you want to display on the widget, you can choose an appropriate widget type from the selection of icons on the page:

• Line / Area Chart

• Column / Bar Chart

• Scatter Chart

• Pie / Donut Chart

• Funnel Chart

• Gauge Chart

• Map

• Card Chart

• Table / Table 2 (see Tables)

• Call Hops

• SIP Ladder

• Multi Charts

• Heat Map

• Chord Diagram

• Combo Charts

Each widget type has conditions or rules that apply to specific data elements. For example, table data elements over time (i.e. DNS Entries for the day by IP address) won’t display in a Gauge chart widget type.

Configuration options also vary, depending on the selected widget type.
