About Number Chart Widgets

The number chart widget displays a single numerical value. This value is based on a single metric. Depending on the metric chosen, the numerical value displayed can be based on a field from your dataset.

Types of Dashboards

This widget can be used in a few different types of dashboard. This includes:

Field Type Compatibility

The number chart is based primarily on a metric. Certain metrics, such as average, require a field from the dataset. Only fields with the following field types will be available when selecting a field for these metrics:

In EX dashboards, you can also select categories, so long as they are a numeric value or number set field type.

Widget Customization

Qtip: You cannot adjust title alignment on a number chart widget.

Basic Setup

To set up a number chart widget, you will be required to add a metric. If you choose a metric other than count, you will be required to choose a field for the metric. The field specifies where the value of the number displayed in the widget is being pulled from.

To learn more about all of the metrics available for your number chart widget and all the ways you can customize them, see Widget Metrics.

Qtip: In the Options tab of your metric, you can display the metric in a number, percent, or currency format. You can also set the number of decimal places you would like to display.

Qtip: If you have multiple data sources mapped, all source data will be displayed in the widget together. You will need to use a widget-level filter to ensure only one data source is displayed at a time. You can even lock this filter, if you don’t want dashboard users to adjust it.

Show Change Since

Editing mode, so you can see the widget editing pane on the left of the number chart where the trend settings are

Checking the box next to Show change since allows you to display how the displayed numerical value has changed over a particular time period. The options for the Time Frame are:

  • Yesterday
  • 1 week ago
  • 1 month ago
  • 3 months ago
  • 12 months ago
  • Month to date
  • Quarter to date
  • Year to date

Qtip: “Show change since” compares the metric over the the current period to the equivalent point in the previous time period. For example, if your widget displays data spanning from Monday to Friday and you enable “Show change since”  for “1 week ago,” then the displayed change is calculated based on the data from Monday to Friday of last week (i.e. Sunday and Saturday are excluded since they aren’t included in the current period).

Attention: Choosing Yesterday as the time frame will show changes since midnight, not all changes from the past 24 hours.

Under Date Field, select a date field from your dataset that you would like to use to base the selected time period on.

Qtip: If there are page/widget filters for Date, for the Show change since option, you should select the same Date field that the filter uses.

The values for this widget are calculated in the following manner:

  • Current Value: Central, largest number. The chosen metric, filtered according to any filters applied at the page or widget level.
  • Previous Value: Smaller, subscript number. The chosen metric, filtered according to any filters applied at the page or widget level, with the date range offset by the amount of time you select under “Show change since.”

Style

trend colors for comparisons within widgets

Go to the Display tab. Under Trend Colors, you’ll see the colors the arrow changes to in order to indicate an increase or a decrease. You can switch the colors by selecting Reverse trend colors.

Attention: You cannot select custom colors.
