Chart

The Chart component lets you create reports of current and past events, and visualize audit data. It uses historical reporting to represent Sitecore Content Hub data as a two-dimensional chart, which you define on the Historical tab.

By applying a chart filter, you can add a time dimension to a chart as shown in the following example.

Add a chart

To add a chart:

1. On the menu bar, click Manage .

2. On the Manage page, click Pages.

3. On the Pages page, select the page you want to modify.

4. On the Layout tab, add the page component.

5. Click the component to open its details page.

6. Depending on the type of report, click one of the following tabs and define the associated properties:

   Dashboard

   Historical

   Use this tab to use operational reporting based on a saved search. This method is deprecated in favor of using a Search component.

   Setting	Description
   Create saved search	Opens the Dashboard builder dialog box where you can create a saved search.
   Select a search	Select the check box next to the search you want to use when rendering the chart.
   Select chart dimensions	After selecting a saved search, choose a chart dimension. This groups data into categories (for example, the asset media dimension groups data into various categories such as videos, vectors, images, and so on).

7. After selecting the principal dimension, specify the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Sorting	Sorts results alphabetically or using a metric.
   Top	Filters out a subset of the entire data results. This field is useful when the X-axis contains a lot of grouping values or when trying to exclude some observed outliers from the report.
   Sorting order	Sorts the derived results in ascending or descending order.
   Group by	Click Set to group results by based on the selected type.

8. For operational reports, in the right pane, define chart properties.

   Property	Description
   Chart title	The title displayed above the graph.
   Chart sizes	The size of the graph on the page (small, medium, or large). Multiple graphs can be added on a single page using multiple chart components.
   Chart type	How the data is presented (as a number chart, pie chart, or donuts chart).
   Metric label	The text label displayed on the Y-axis of a column chart graph.
   Metric	Type of aggregation to apply to chart data.
   Limit dimensions slices	Filter that limits the data to a subset of the results. This is useful when the X-axis contains a lot of grouping values or when you want to exclude outliers.
   Sorting	How chart data is sorted (alphabetically or by metric.)
   Sorting order	The sort order (ascending or descending).

9. To view the chart, in the top-right corner of the application window, click Preview.

10. Click Save and close.
