Side by Side Comparison (2x1)

Last updated: July 10, 2020

Widget size: 2 x 1

This widget compares two different data points. It is visually strong, and is a good way of comparing points to see how they are performing against one another.

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.

Clicking on the ‘View Charts’ icon will take you to a drill down displaying the latest data as a line graph.
