Overview
Open a metric chart when you want to understand trends, totals, distribution, or company-level comparisons. Metric charts use the same general chart control patterns as reports: choose a data shape, configure axes, select aggregation, choose intervals, and compare companies where relevant. Open a chart from a metric detail page or use the route patternhttps://joinsayless.com/{workspace}/metrics/{metricName}/chart.
Build a chart
Chart controls let you shape the visualization.Chart type
Choose the chart format that fits the question. Changing the chart type changes which controls matter. A single-value chart needs different context than a line chart or table chart.Aggregation
Aggregation controls how event values are summarized. Use aggregation when multiple events need to become one value, such as count, sum, or another summary operation supported by the chart.Interval
Interval controls how data is grouped over time. Use shorter intervals for recent operational work and longer intervals for trend review.Axis controls
Axis controls define which fields appear on the chart. If the chart looks empty, confirm the selected fields exist in the metric events.Chart types
Available chart types include common formats used throughout the metrics and reports areas.Line chart
Use line charts for trends over time.Bar chart
Use bar charts for comparing grouped values.Pie chart
Use pie charts for part-to-whole breakdowns.Table chart
Use table charts when exact rows matter more than a visual summary.Single value
Use single-value charts for one important number.Compare data
Use comparison controls when company context matters.Company selector
Select companies to include in the chart.Company comparison
Compare companies against each other. Company comparison works best when events are consistently linked to companies.Sorting
Sort chart results when order changes the interpretation.Troubleshooting charts
Most chart issues come from missing data, incompatible chart settings, or fields that do not exist on the event data.Empty chart
Check that the metric has events, that the selected interval includes data, and that the chosen fields exist.If a chart is empty but the metric has events, inspect Metrics > Events to confirm the event fields match the chart controls.
