Side by Side Comparison (3x1)
Widget size: 3 x 1
This widget can compare up to five different data points. It is visually strong, and is a good way of comparing multiple points to see how they are performing against one another, or against a target. The target can be added as a sixth data point.
Configuration options include changing the bar colours and displaying multiple Y-axes to make the data more coherent when points of data with different units are used.
When in the year view, clicking on a bar will take you to a view of that month’s specific data broken down by day. Clicking on a bar in this view will take you to a view of that day’s data broken down by hour. Clicking again will take you back to year view.
Clicking on the arrows above the bar chart will take you to the previous/next period, depending on the view you are currently in.
Multiple axes can be included for displaying different scales.
Clicking on the ‘View Charts’ icon will take you to a drill down displaying the latest data as a line graph.
