Stack, Funnel, Gauge, Metric, Signal Map, Time Series

Stack

A variant of the bar chart: each bar is made of segments, so you read the total and the composition at once. One column on X, several on Y, one segment each. Revenue composition by region and month; hours by phase per project. Settings are the same as Bar & Line.

Funnel (Beta)

Conversion: lead → opportunity → quote → won, each stage narrower than the last. Configure items — one column (or one aggregate) per item, Add Item for another layer. The data usually comes from a table that is already summarised, one number per stage.

Gauge (Beta)

One number against its target: 73% attained, stock level, this month's collection progress. Configure the value column, the minimum and maximum of the scale, and colour rules (under 60 red, over 90 green). Good for a KPI on a dashboard you scan rather than read.

Metric

Statistics show one large stat value — one number that stands for a state. Configure:

• Value — which column to show, usually the latest row.
• Status Value — Add New Status: each status has a trigger value and a colour. Temperature over 80 shows red; stock below the safety line shows amber.
• Background Status — colour the whole block rather than just the number.
• Show Status Name — display the status name ("Overheating", "Normal") alongside.

This is the traffic light on a wall-display dashboard.

Signal Map

States drawn on top of a picture: upload a floor plan (a shop floor, a warehouse, a map of branches) and mark each row at a position on it. Configure:

• Image Field — which column the picture comes from. This field type should be "Attachment". The image size will influence the display speed.
• The percentage column — where the marker sits. This field type should be "Percentage". 30% across, 60% down.
• The text column — what the marker says. This field type should be "Text".

Equipment inspection rounds, bay occupancy, that kind of thing.

Time Series

A curve over one column at a chosen time grain, built for sensor and log tables — the ones whose index column is a time. The table's index field has to be a date type, otherwise you get Table does not support Time Series / To support Time Series chart, it must have a time Index field. Configure:

• Unit — month, week, day, hour or minute; data is collapsed to that grain.
• Smoothing Method — how to draw a moment with no data: break the line, fill with zero, or carry the previous value forward.

What separates it from a line chart is that the time axis is continuous and zoomable, rather than one point per category.

Where they are in the + View menu

Stack, Funnel, Gauge and Metric are top-level entries. Signal Map and Time Series live under Advanced Views. In a dashboard editor's chart list they are all offered flat.
