Add a Line Chart Widget

You can personalize and customize the line chart appearance. Line charts automatically generate colors based on the number of data points.

To add a line chart widget

Step 1: On the Analytics homepage, click Manage Dashboards.

The Dashboards Groups page is displayed.

Step 2: Select a group to view its dashboards.

A dashboard list for the selected group is displayed.

Step 3: Select a dashboard (Grid view or List view) to which you need to add a line chart widget.

The <DashboardName> page is displayed.

Step 4: In the upper-right corner, click the icon.

The Add Widget dialog box is displayed.

Step 5: In the Name box, type a name for the widget.

The widget name appears on the widget title bar.

Step 6: In the Description box, type a brief description of the widget.

Step 7: In the Widget Type list, select Line Chart.

Step 8: In the Sample Type list, select one of the following sample types:

Option 1: Snapshot: On the dashboard, the bar chart is displayed based on the current report.

Option 2: Trend: On the dashboard, the bar chart is displayed based on samples of the report taken at the trend interval.

On the dashboard, in the title bar of the bar chart widget, this icon is displayed and is used to control the date range of data points to view.

Step 9: In the Sample Interval box, select sample report trend interval in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years.

Step 10: In the Sample Display Range box, select the default report display range in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years.

Step 11: In the box, search for a report, and then select a report.

All reports in your organization or its descendants appear in the box. Parent organization filters appear for subgroup as well. In a widget you can select reports that are public or the reports that you have authored.

A warning sign next to the report title indicates that the report contains organization filters that do not allow dashboard access. The data for those organizations are not displayed on the dashboard.

Step 12: Click Add Dataset.

In a bar chart, you can have multiple datasets per widget.

Step 13: You can modify the dataset label.

Step 14: Click the icon if you need to remove the dataset.

Step 15: In the Column section, select the X-axis and Y-axis for the line chart.

If you have Y-axis available, you can select the function to apply to your result dataset at each interval. If you do not have a numeric Y-axis available, the Y-axis for your chart defaults to the count of grouped X-axis values.

Step 16: Click Save.

The line chart widget is saved and appears on your dashboard.
