Visualizing trends: Microcharts widget
The Microcharts widget for iPad and Android tablets lets users visualize
trends in a metric at a quick glance. Depending on the number of metrics
used in the underlying report, the Microcharts widget can display one, two or
three microcharts. For example, bar and sparkline microcharts convey
trends in a metric, and bullet microcharts compare a metric’s actual value to
its targets. An example of a Microcharts widget is shown below:
The Microcharts widget can be used in the following modes:
• Grid mode: This is the default setting. In this mode, all attributes except
the last one from the left are grouped and displayed as rows in the widget.
• KPI List mode: In this mode, key performance indicators (KPIs), such as
Profit, Revenue, and so on, are displayed in a list. Each KPI is represented
by its own row of microcharts.
