Bar chart

Bar charts facilitate the viewing of data broken down by segmentation.

Bar chart example

The NQL query requires a segmentation label and an aggregation.

Data shape

<segmentation 1>, (<segmentation 2>, <segmentation 3>,...), <kpi 1>, (<kpi 2>, <kpi 3>, ...)

NQL structure

Refer to the Live Dashboards NQL examples documentation for query examples of bar chart widgets.

...
summarize <kpi1>, <kpi2>, ... by <segmentation1>, <segmentation2>, ...

Column names

The variable names in the NQL query are used as labels for the columns.

Column names

The variable names are formatted with the following heuristic:

  • Underscores are replaced with spaces.

  • The first character of the variable is changed to upper-case.

Configuring visualization fields specific to Bar charts

Refer to the Managing Live Dashboards documentation to learn how to fill in the remaining configuration fields that are not specific to this widget.

After selecting the Bar chart option from the Chart type drop-down in the Add widget/Edit a widget pop-up:

  1. Give the widget a Title (optional).

  2. Enter a Widget description (optional) to explain, for example, how the metric should be interpreted, calculated, or any subtleties to the metric.

    • The widget description appears by hovering over the info icon next to the bar chart widget in the dashboard.

  3. Define the Maximum number of rows to be displayed in the container.

    • The dashboard displays a Load more button if the chart results exceed the defined limit.
