Available Chart Series Types

The following chart types (examples of which are shown below) are available for use in a series when defining a Chart in SysTrack Dashboard:

  • Line: Useful for comparing non-cyclical data for showing trends over periods of time
  • Column: Useful for comparing several items in a specific range of values
  • Bar: Useful for comparing several categories of data. Most often used for a single point in time
  • Area: Useful for clearly illustrating the magnitude of change between two or more data points
  • Stacked line: Useful for analyzing data with different units of measure
  • Stacked column: Useful for comparing items in a specific range of values as well as showing the relationship of individual sub-items with the whole
  • Stacked bar: Useful for comparing more complex categories of data
  • Stacked area: Useful for comparing data that changes over time and where relative and absolute differences matter
  • Pie: Useful for representing the distribution or proportion of each data item over a total value
  • Scatter: Useful for showing correlations between two sets of values
  • Spline: A curved line chart that draws a fitted curve through data points. Useful for showing smooth gradual changes instead of spikes
