About Report Template Visualizations
Dashboard report templates have many different visualizations you can add. Some of these, like the engagement summary and scorecard, are almost exactly like their dashboard counterparts. Others, like the breakdown bar and statistics table, can communicate similar data to widgets you’d find in a dashboard, but with a unique and simple setup.
Bar Chart Visualization
The Bar Chart visualization allows you to see data about a selected field in a bar format. You can then breakout your bars by another field, allowing you to get granular in your data analysis.
Creating a Bar Chart
- Click Insert in the report template toolbar or in the report template body.
- Select Visualization.
- Choose Chart.
- Select Bar Chart.
- Click Add Metric to add data to your chart.
Qtip: You can add multiple metrics into your chart. - Click your newly added metric.
- Select the field you would like to display.
Qtip: If you select a date field, you can then select how you would like your dates to be grouped together.
- Select the metric that is displayed.
Compatible Fields
The following field types can be added to Bar Charts:

Gauge Chart Visualization
Gauge Charts can help you quickly determine how a given field is performing versus how it is expected to perform.

Results Table Visualization
The Results Table visualization displays data in a list format. It breaks out each response as a separate row, and allows you to customize what columns of collected data to include. The Results Table is best if you want to see individual responses or open-ended feedback; if you want to display data on response counts or statistics, use the Statistics Table or a Data Table.

- Hover over Visualization.
- Hover over Table.
- Select Results Table.
- Click Add Field and select the field you want to report on.
