Charts & Dashboards
How Infohub Charts WorkCharts are trees the chart type builds for you — drop a measure on the right node and the structure appears.Chart Type CatalogueAll 21 Infohub chart types with their exact factory names, factory types, and constructors.The Time Based ChartThe workhorse trend chart — series types, axes, limits, and comparison against a previous period.Widgets and GaugesSingle-value displays that carry status — the fastest thing to read on a dashboard, and the easiest to overuse.Tables and Portrait TablesWhen numbers beat pictures — table orientations, CSV export, and the comparison table.Pareto AnalysisRanking causes by contribution — the chart that turns a downtime scheme into an improvement programme.Heat Maps, Scatter, and Bullet ChartsThree specialised chart types for pattern, correlation, and target — plus timelines, comments, and the layout components.Forms and Data CaptureGetting numbers and reasons out of people and into the model — the three form types and how to design one that gets filled in.Dashboards and NavigationPanels on a 12-column grid, report folders, dashboard loops for signage, and linking a set into a system.Dashboard Layout PrinciplesDesigning for the room the dashboard will be read in — reading order, colour discipline, and what to leave out.Chart Templates and ReleasesReusing a chart across areas — releasing it as a template, the version contract, and why editing un-releases it.Exporting and Scheduling ReportsPDF, PNG, and CSV from charts; report servers and templates for scheduled distribution.Localised LabelsHow to give a chart or server a label per language, and the exact order Infohub falls back through when a viewer's culture has no translation.Filtering Attributes on FormsNarrowing a drop-down to the values that make sense — cascading attribute selection, and filtering which rows a form shows.
