Recommended Data Visualizations

Click Data Visualization in the toolbar to see the recommended data visualizations you can add, in addition to all of the data visualizations available in other views such as dashboards.

The options found under Recommended include special versions of charts and gauges with predefined options that can work well when repeated in small sizes:

• Sparkline is a line chart with both horizontal and vertical axes hidden to emphasize the historical trend of the data.

• Data Bar is a bar chart that normally displays one horizontal bar per row, with both horizontal and vertical axes hidden.

• Horizontal Plot is a version of a scatter plot along one axis, also called a strip plot, allowing you to see patterns in the distribution of points over time or by magnitude.

• Bullet Graph is a best practice version of a gauge designed for comparing metrics against their targets and other contextual values.

• Axis lets you display a single axis for charts or gauges separately in a header or footer.

• Group Expander lets you interactively collapse or expand the rows in the group when viewing.

The options above that directly visualize data will also be available later in the Re-Visualize menu of an existing visualization.
