On the ‘Edit, Chart’ screen, click the ‘Chart’ tab and choose ‘Sankey Diagram' from the list of chart types. You will be able to choose either Horizontal or Vertical Sankey diagrams.
To create a Sankey Diagram, you will need to add the following information on the Data tab, the 3 required pieces of data are all dimensions:
Identifier - this is a field that links the nodes together such as a Service Desk ticket number.
Node - such as an Employee Name
State - such as Job Role
You will also be able to specify drill levels for Sankey Diagrams. Please refer to this section for more information on creating drill levels.
Drilling on this chart type uses a IN filter to group multiple items (this is different from other chart types). For example, if you drill on a ‘Jon’ Node, the Filter will include all links from any other node to ‘Jon’, and all links from ‘Jon’ to any other node:
Dependency Charts Pi Employee IN Jon::::Ming::::Leah
Dependency Charts Pi Role IN Consultant::::Developer
Dependency Charts Pi Bug Id IN 1::::3::::4::::5
Drilling on the link from ‘Jon’ to ‘Leah’, the filter will include only the information from that link:
Dependency Charts Pi Employee IN Jon::::Leah
Dependency Charts Pi Role IN Consultant::::Developer
Dependency Charts Pi Bug Id IN 3::::4::::
