Subcharts

By default, all observations of a data table column are plotted in the same chart. You can split one chart into several subcharts or plot only a subset of data in subcharts.

Note: Using subcharts is optional. The Subcharts element is therefore not available by default; you have to manually add it from the Creatable elements pane.

Create subcharts

You can configure subcharts based on a specific number of observations (Observations per subchart) or a specific number of days (Days per subchart). The system automatically calculates the required number of subcharts.

Examples:

  • Observations per subchart: If the total number of observations is 1000 and you configure 100 observations per subchart, ten subcharts are generated.

  • Days per subchart: If your observations comprise one week, you can create one subchart for each day by entering '1' as the value.

Plot a subset of data

Instead of plotting all your observations, you can plot only a subset of data. You can plot the most recent observations in your data table (Most recent observations) or the observations with the most recent date (Most recent days).

The following example shows six observations. If you plot the three most recent observations, the subchart contains observations 4 to 6. If you plot the three most recent days, the subchart contains observations 1 to 3.

Important: This feature is based on the sort order of the data table. Make sure the Sort data option for your charts is set according to your requirements.

Tip: You can also combine both options. For example, if the total number of observations is 1000 and you configure 100 observations per subchart and 500 most recent observations, five subcharts are generated with 100 observations each.

Dashboard

On the Dashboard, the Results overview displays one tab for each chart you configure. On each chart tab, the most recent subchart, as well as the full chart, are displayed. The full report shows all available charts.

The following figure shows the Dashboard of the '03 Splitting the Chart into Subcharts' sample document, with the Current data chart in focus.

Note: The full chart is always plotted.
