Chart Component

Label

A Label indicates the purpose of the corresponding field or component. For input components, the Label tells the end-user how to interact with the field. For non-input components, the Label is not end-user facing, and only appears in the Module Builder. User-friendly Labels make your module more accessible. Keep Labels short and descriptive (a word or two) using title case. For longer entries, use sentence case.

Property Name

A Property Name is the unique field ID used by Unqork to track and link components in your module.

The Property Name is how the software identifies your component. Using Property Names lets you link components, creating logic-based configurations and API (application programming interface) calls.

Property Names must use camel case (stylized as camelCase) without spaces or punctuation.

Chart Title

The title that displays above your chart in Express View.

Chart Subtitle

The subtitle that displays below your chart title in Express View.

Chart Height

Adjusts the height (in pixels) of the frame that contains your chart. As you adjust the height of your chart box, the  chart resizes accordingly.

Stack Series

Overlays multiple data sets in your graph. This setting prevents multiple data inputs from overlapping in your application.

If only a single data input exists, this setting has no effect.

Inputs

Use this section to input and organize the data that your chart must display.

ID

In this field, enter the Property ID  of your input data.

All data you reference in your input must come from the same array as the data ID. When you input additional data, it creates a separate chart.

Label

In this field, enter the value for what you're counting. For example, if your graph displays a count of numbers, enter Number. If you're displaying a percentage of businesses involved in an industry, enter Businesses.

Chart Type

This field lets you set the chart  type to display your data. Below are the available chart types:

• Column: Effective for comparison of at least one data point. Column charts show data as a rectangle with the height of the rectangle proportional to the values plotted. Typically, a column chart plots the variable value vertically and the fixed dimension horizontally.

• Bar: Effective for comparison of at least one data point. Bar charts show data as a bar with the height of the bar proportional to the values plotted. Typically, a bar chart plots the variable value horizontally and the fixed dimension vertically.

• Pie: A pie chart is a circular-type chart, divided into slices to show numeric proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each slice relates to the quantity the slice represents. When used in conjunction with the Inner Size setting, you can configure your pie chart into a doughnut chart.

• Line: A line chart displays information as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. These charts are typically used to show information that changes over time.

• Spline: A spline chart is a line chart that uses curves instead of straight lines. These charts are typically used to emphasize data trends over time.

• Scatter: A scatter chart uses dots to represent values for two different variables. The position of each dot in the horizontal and vertical axis displays values for the data point. You'll typically use these charts to show relationships between variables.

• Funnel: These charts typically display stages in a sales process, and the amount of potential revenue for each stage.

• Bubble: Bubble charts are used to determine if at least three numerical values are related or share some pattern. These charts can also display trends over time or compare categorical variables.

• Heatmap: These charts are specialized, using colors to represent data values in a table. They are most helpful when used with large and complex data sets.

Categories

In this field, enter the data categories you want displayed on your chart. Enter only the key of your data's key/value pairs  for each category.
For example, let's say your application has three insurance provider options. You want to show the end-user how popular each insurance provider is to help guide their choice. Your insurance provider data all share the data key of Provider. So, in the Categories field, you'll enter Provider.

Values

Use this field to display the values for each category on your chart. Enter only the key of your data's key/value pairs  for each category value.

Colors

Manipulates the color of an input category if the input data array contains colors. Your color data can be in word or HEX form.

Size

This setting expands the size of your chart, in pixels.

Inner Size

Adds an inner-hole to make your pie chart into a doughnut chart.  This setting only applies to pie charts.

Event Output

Lets the end-user select a category on your chart's user interface. You can then output the selected category to a Property ID.

ID

The Property ID you use to output your Filter Category. For example, if you want to store the selected Filter Category in a Hidden component named idOutput, enter idOutput.

Filter Category

Enter the input category value displayed on your chart. For example, if your Input category is provider, enter provider.

Chart Theme

Sets the theme or color scheme of your chart.

Month Format

Changes the month format of date values on your chart.

Drilldown

Narrows down to any nested categories.

Aggregation

Aggregates a variable in the tracking cascading status.

Top

Returns only the top records.

Print Chart, Download CSV, XLS, and PDF Label

Customizes the label of the download options in the chart drop-down menu.

Field Tags

Assign components one-word labels to help organize, identify, and group the components in your application.

Consider an example from the API Specification Snippet: Field Tags are applied to Hidden components in the panelRequest and panelResponse Panel components. The Field Tags identify the data type of parameters included in the API request and response. The API Docs Dashboard tool populates with information about each parameter’s data type, identified by the Field Tag.

Field Tags act as a type of Property ID group and let you group components for configuration purposes. Field Tags let you target two or more components using a simple logic component.

For example, add the Field Tag tagForDecision to multiple components in your module. Open the Inputs table of a Decisions component and reference the tagForDecision Field Tag as the input of the Decisions component. The output of the Decisions component then affects all components with the tagForDecision Field Tag.

Save your Field Tags by pressing Enter (Return) or adding a comma after each entry.
