Circular bar chart graphic

A circular bar chart graphic displays up to five data points in a radial design of concentric bands. This is ideal for displaying comparative values or progress towards goals. The first data point is in the center of the chart The remaining data points appear outward from the center.

Examples

The following circular bar chart graphic has five data points.

The following circular bar chart graphic has four data points.

Configure the graphic

Configure the following properties for this graphic:

• Follow asset context - The asset context affects properties that are configured to display asset stream ref data and asset metadata. When this is enabled:

  • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's asset context. For details, see Create a new visualization.

  • If this content is in an experience, it uses the navigation item's asset reference. For details, see the Add content to a pane section in Add content to panes in your navigation items.

• Follow time context - When this is enabled:

  • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's time context as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Create a new visualization.

  • If this content is in an experience, it uses the time selected in the time selector content item as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Add a time selector.

• Time - If Follow time context is disabled, select the time range for the data displayed in the content item.

• In the Options section:

  • ChartType - The chart type.

    Select either Circular, where the minimum value is at the 5 o'clock position, or Radial, where the minimum value is at the 12 o'clock position.

  • NumberOfItems - The number of data points to display on the graphic.

    This changes the number of certain properties available.

  • Statistics - The metric to use for the data.

    If Current is selected, then configure the DataPoint property for each data point. If another option is selected, then configure the DataPointReference property for each data point.

    See Understand statistic options for details.

  • Color1-5 - The color displayed on the chart for each data point, starting from the center of the graphic.

    The number of option fields available is based on the NumberOfItems selected.

  • ShowTitleAs - Enables the Title property in the Graphic Properties area to set the graphic title and sets the font size. Title is a larger font. Subtitle is a smaller font.

  • ShowLegends - Enables legends for the data points.

    If enabled, set the Legend property for each data point.

  • ShowValues - Displays the values for the data points.

  • ShowUOM - Enables units of measure for the data points, if ShowValues is enabled.

    Set the UOM properties for the data points in the Graphic Properties section.

  • MultipleUOM - Enables a separate unit of measure for each data point, if ShowUOM is enabled.

    If enabled, set the UOM, Max, and Min properties for each data point.

  • ShowCard - Displays a colored background behind the graphic.

  • Simulation - Displays test data for the graphic.

    If enabled, then the Statistics and DataPoint properties are not available, but the SimMax, SimMin, and SimPeriod properties are available.

• In the Graphic Properties section:

  • DataPoint1-5 - The data point or value for each bar on the chart, starting from the center.

    This is available when Statistics is Current and Simulation is disabled. The number of properties available is based on the NumberOfItems selected.

    To select a data stream, select the field and then select the pencil icon. In the DataPoint window, select Streams. In the Search window, use the filters to find and then select the stream, asset stream reference, or asset metadata to display.

  • DataPointReference1-5 - The data point or value for each bar on the chart, starting from the center.

    This is available when Statistics is not Current and Simulation is disabled. The number of properties available is based on the NumberOfItems selected.

    To select a data stream, select the field and then select the pencil icon. In the DataPointReference window, select Streams. In the Search window, use the filters to find and then select the stream, asset stream reference, or asset metadata to display.

    Ensure the Data Binding Mode is Constant when configuring DataPointReference1-5.

  • Decimals - The number of decimal places for the data point value.

    The maximum is two. Invalid values are discarded.

  • Legend1-5 - The legend text shown for each data point.

    Enter up to 10 characters. This is available when ShowLegends is enabled.

  • Max - The highest value for the graphic.

    Default is 100. This value must be greater than the Min value. When ShowValues is enabled, set the highest value for each data point with Max1-5. The maximum value for each data point must be greater than the corresponding Min1-5 value.

  • Min - The lowest value for the graphic.

    Default is 0. This value must be less than the Max value. When ShowValues is enabled, set the lowest value for each data point with Min1-5. The minimum value for each data point must be less than the corresponding Max1-5 value.

  • SimMax - The highest simulated value for the graphic when Simulation is enabled.

    Default is 100. This value must be greater than the SimMin value.

  • SimMin - The lowest simulated value for the graphic when Simulation is enabled.

    Default is 0. This value must be less than the SimMax value.

  • SimPeriod - The simulation refresh period, in seconds, from 1 to 60.

    This is available when Simulation is enabled.

  • Title - The title text for the graphic.

    This is only available when ShowTitleAs is Title or Subtitle.

  • UOM - The unit of measure text used in legends, up to 5 characters.

    This is available when ShowValues and ShowUOM are enabled. When MultipleUOM is enabled, set the unit of measure text for each data point with UOM1-5.

• In the Advanced tab:

  • Title - The title displayed for this content item in the grid visualization.

    This is not available in a canvas visualization or experience. Set this value in the Title property in the Graphic Properties section.
