Creating Bar Chart Widgets in Pronnel Boards: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
Bar charts are an excellent tool for visualizing data, providing a clear picture of various metrics and distributions. In Pronnel Boards, you can leverage the Bar Chart Widget to represent data effectively.
This tutorial will guide you through creating Bar Chart Widgets to visualize task status division, helping you understand the distribution of tasks across different stages.
Step 1: Accessing Dashboard Creation:
Begin by accessing your Pronnel dashboard. If you still need to create one, navigate to your boards and select the option to create a new dashboard. Alternatively, you can add widgets directly to an existing overview view on your board.
Step 2: Creating a Bar Chart Widget:
Once your dashboard is ready, click the top-right corner to add a new widget. Choose the "Chart" option, then select "Bar Chart" from the available chart types.
Step 3: Configuring the Bar Chart Widget::
Upon selecting the Bar Chart Widget, you'll need to configure its settings:
X-Axis:
The X-axis represents the horizontal axis and displays data categories. For our example, select a bucket representing task status (e.g., "To Do," "In Progress," "Done").
Y-Axis:
Choose the metric to display on the Y-axis. This can be a count of items or any other numerical value associated with the tasks.
You can perform arithmetic operations on numerical columns, such as Count, Max, Min, Median, Average, or Sum. For task status, counting the number of items directly would be appropriate.
Add Description:
Enable the "Add Description" option to include a note explaining the widget's purpose. This helps others understand the widget's context and relevance.
More Settings:
- Under "More Settings," you can further customize the widget:
- Adjust the legend's position (vertical or horizontal).
- Sort the data in ascending or descending order.
- Choose boards from which to pull data for the Bar Chart.
- Flip the chart to switch the orientation of the axes.
Step 4: Filtering Data:
Utilize the filter icon located at the top-right corner to refine the data displayed in the Bar Chart.
For instance, if you want to focus on active tasks only, you can filter to exclude functions in the "Final" bucket, providing a clearer view of task status division.
Step 5: Review:
Review the configured settings to ensure they meet your requirements.
Conclusion:
Congratulations! You've successfully created a Bar Chart Widget in Pronnel Boards to visualize task status division. By following these steps, you can efficiently monitor and analyze the distribution of tasks across different stages, gaining valuable insights into your workload. Experiment with various configurations and filters to tailor the Bar Chart Widget to your specific needs and enhance your data visualization capabilities in Pronnel.
