Adding Charts¶
The most common way to add a chart to a page section is through the visualizer menu. The following video goes through the basic process of adding a visualization this way. Make sure to read on for more ways to set up a chart.
Ways to Add Charts and Data¶
There are three main ways to choose visualizations for our pages.
Figure 2: Adding Visualizations
- Click on Add Visualization. This menu is located in the top bar commands. Hover over visualizations to view their basic placeholders and descriptions.
- Click on Run Wizard. The wizard allows us to explore and set up charts in a separate window. We can review the library of visualizers in the first step and explore how they look in the second before committing to adding them in the last step. To access it, click on the button at them bottom of the visualization menu.
- Click on chart icons or Add Chart. Use the quick or direct links to add directly to that page section.
Watch the video below to see how to execute the above ways of adding charts to pages.
Each chart has detailed placeholders to help illustrate what it does. Hover over chart options (i) to view more specific placeholders. Here is an example of how placeholder images with appear:
We can add inputs by dragging and dropping data columns from the left panel of Responses or choosing them in the drop-down menu that appears when clicking in the input box. Once we indicate required inputs, we’ll see a preview of our chart. We can use the real-time preview to explore options and choose exactly how we want our chart visualized before accepting it. Watch the following video to see how it’s done.
Guide Steps¶
Charts with multiple options for setting up now have guide steps for basic understanding. Find this option under guide me when adding a visualization to a page layout.
Figure 3: Guide Steps for Setting Up a Chart
The guide will take us through up to 5 steps to help us render a basic chart. Here is an example of the guide for bubble chart:
Editing Charts¶
There are two main ways to edit charts, one of which is only available for a couple of them.
Figure 4: Editing Visualizations
- Quick Edit: This option is available for vertical bar chart and bubble chart.
- Edit Viz: This option takes us back to our initial inputs page to edit them.
Titles & Axes¶
We have the option to update the chart title, axis titles and axis ticks simply by clicking on their locations in the chart. The following video shows how this is done:
Quick Edit¶
The quick edit option is available for bar charts and bubble chart to change main inputs such as x data, y data and label by. To open the quick edit drop-down, click on the parameter icon in the top right corner of the chart area. Watch the video below to see a quick editing example for Bubble Chart:
Quick edit options will be available for more charts in the future.
Label Editor¶
Click on a Label to edit it. The label editor also supports variables.

Multiple X and Y Data¶
When we have numerical values for an existing scatter plot, we can choose multiple X and Y data creating a must-scatter plot.
Label Visibility¶
When we have multiple labels on our bubble charts (via the Appearance tab when editing the chart), we can turn them on our off for individual nodes by clicking on the respected node.
Figure 7: Editing Label Visibility
Watch the following video to see it in action as well as how to reset the visibility (chart right-click).
Envelopes¶
New as of September, 2022, we can add envelopes to our bubble charts. This allows us to groups certain aspects of our chart by highlighting them under an envelope. The option can be found under the appearance tab when editing a bubble chart and includes options to color the envelopes by a certain criteria.
Figure 8: Envelopes
Enable Heat Map¶
New as of October, 2022, if we have a color scale enabled for a numerical color by, we can enable a heat map of the plot.
