About the Split Axis Chart Widget

The split axis chart widget can be used in any brand tracker dashboard to compare two different metrics. This widget stacks the y-axis of a line chart on top of the y-axis of a bar chart.

Field Compatibility

The x-axis of a split axis chart widget is only compatible with the following field types:

  • Date
  • Number Set
  • Multi-Answer Text Set

You can also add two metrics to the spit-axis chart. When calculating any metric other than count, you need a Numeric Value or Number set field.

Basic Setup

Metric and axis settings in the widget editing pane for the split axis chart

Add a split axis chart widget to any brand tracker dashboard.
Add the first metric.
Qtip: This can be anything you like – for example, NPS, a satisfaction rating, or even a custom metric.
Qtip: For help configuring a metric, see the Widget Metrics support page.
Add a second metric. This is generally a field you want to compare to the first metric you added.
Choose an x-axis field. This is how the two metrics selected will be broken out.
Example: Often this is a demographic field or a date (so you can see change over time).
