Creating a Card Chart

To create a chart, click the ‘Create new chart’ icon in the top-right corner of an empty cell on the dashboard.

Open

The Edit Chart screen will be displayed:

• Select the data that you want to use

• Select the type of chart you want to create

You can perform the steps listed above in whatever order you prefer, however, if you choose the chart type first the Data section of the edit chart screen will display the minimum number of fields that you need to populate for the chosen chart type.

In the following example the Card Chart was selected first before the Data. The Data screen now shows the two fields that are recommended to create this chart however, you can create a Card that contains text only, which means that you don’t need to populate either of these fields in order to create the Card. Please refer to the Adding Data section for information on how to add text.

Open

If the Card Chart type is not selected first, the Data screen will show the default fields that are required for a standard Bar Chart.

When the Card Chart type has been selected the Data screen will look like the screen shot shown below. The top half of the screen is the design area, where you add objects to the card and the bottom half (Preview) shows how the card will look as each object is added.
