Pies

The Dashboard Designer is a powerful tool that enables users to create custom and highly interactive reports. By generating dynamic charts, such as pie charts, users can explore their data from multiple angles and uncover hidden patterns. This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for analyzing trends, monitoring performance, and making data-driven decisions more effectively.

How to Create a Pies Filter:

Begin by opening the Panel Designer and selecting the report you wish to edit or create a new one. Locate and click the pie chart icon to add it. Next, drag the relevant columns from the main area into the "Columns" section under DATA ELEMENTS. This step defines the chart's dimensions and measurements. The columns you drag will determine the pie slices and their sizes.

Dashboard Designer also provides various options to customize the 'Pies' based on the data type displayed in each column. Below is a general overview of the different options you can apply to your Pies Chart.
