Charts
Charts are the building blocks of a dashboard. There are over 50 chart types to choose from.
Chart Basics
The dashboard below showcases some of the chart types available.
All charts are live and update from the underlying datasources as soon as the data changes.
Dashboards with multiple charts can be set up so that a weekly report is emailed to selected users containing the latest data.
This feature is located in the ‘New’ module, under the 'Custom Fields'section.
