Step 3: Configuring the Pie Chart Widget

  1. X-Axis Selection:

    The X-axis represents the criteria for dividing the data. In this example, we have selected "Assignee" for the X-axis to organize the data accordingly.

    For workload division, we select 'Assignee' in the X-Axis.

  2. Y-Axis Selection:

    Select the numerical data that you want to represent in the pie slices. This could be a count of items or any other relevant numerical value. In this case, counting the number of items is a suitable option for visualizing the data.

  3. Adding Description:

    Enable the "Add Description" option to provide a note explaining the Widget's purpose. This helps users understand the context of the visualization.

  4. More Settings:

    The legend in a Pie Chart helps identify categories by color. You can adjust its position for better readability with options like vertical, horizontal, or bottom-horizontal placement. Positioning the legend effectively ensures improved clarity and organization of the chart.

    adjust the legend's position, sort the data, or specify the boards from which you want to draw data for the Pie Chart.

Step 4: Applying Filters

Utilize the Filter Icon on the top right corner to filter the data based on specific criteria. For instance, we can filter to display only active items, excluding those in Final buckets.
