Creating multi dimension charts

Multiple dimension charts can display multiple dimension and multiple measure data on a chart to compare categories.

Use the built-in system themes to differentiate the categories, or create your own theme.

Multiple colours¶

More than one visualisation colour can be applied to a dashboard theme.

These help differentiate the categories on a dashboard.

Adding a visualisation to your dashboard¶

1. Click the plus Add Item icon to open the Tile Editor.

   Tip

   You can move the Visualisations panel from right to left by clicking the icon.

2. Click and select a visualisation type.

3. Enter a Title.

   The fields in the panel will adjust to match the tile selected. For example, to display Total Bookings in the Teal Green Holidays demo system using a Number Card:

4. Click + Measure to access and then Search data… or Browse data.

   Tip

   To identify the total number of records in a table, use the Search option and type the table name – for example, in our demo system, this might be Bookings…People…Communications. You cannot select table items using Browse.

Dimensions and measures¶

Multi dimension charts can have a mix of dimensions and measures depending on the chart type.

As you select a chart type, the tile editor will display the appropriate number of dimensions and measures, this also works the other way to filter the charts available depending on what you select.

For example if you complete the data selections above, you will no longer be able to select a single dimension chart.

Function options available¶

• Use the Swap order of dimensions switch to swap which dimension is used for the vertical grouping.

Legend¶

• Select the Show legend option to show the legend.

• Click the icon to position the legend
