Create a Combo Chart visualization

Introduction

This visualization allows to graphically display the indicators collected in the scorecard. You can select the data source to display either the scorecard of the entity or the aggregated values of the indicators, if the current entity is located at a superior level in the structure.

The combo chart provides a mixed visualization, displaying indicators either as bars or as lines.

• Multiple bars have the same function as simple bars. The various indicators are spaced from each other and form groups. Colors associated to each bar allow easy cross-indicator comparison. Bear in mind that the legibility of the graph decreases as the number of bars increases. Consider opting for another type of graphic representation if you need to display more than 3 indicators.

• The lines represent the variations of the values across time. Several lines can be displayed to compare indicators between them or compare them with forecasts.
