ClearInsights Max: Chart Types Available

Reporting Chart Types

Charts display your search answer in a visual way. Please note that your search needs at least one attribute and one measure to be presented as a chart. Each chart type provides you with a different visualization for your answer. Below are the chart types available.

Note:

Some chart types may not be available, depending on the columns in your search. Unavailable chart types will appear grayed out and hovering over a chart type icon in the system will tell you what columns you require before you can use it.

Column Charts	Stacked Column Charts	Line Charts
Column charts are vertical bar charts that display your data using rectangular bars. The length of the bar is proportional to the data value.	The stacked column chart is similar to the column chart, but with one major difference. It includes a legend, which divides each column into additional sections, by color. Note that you can only use an attribute to slice with color.	Line charts display your data as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. The system orders the measurement points by the x-axis value. Line charts are good at showing trends over time.

Donut Charts	Bar Charts	Stacked Bar Charts
A donut chart is a statistical graphic that divides data into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. In a donut chart, the arc length of a slice is proportional to the quantity it represents.	The bar chart is very similar to the column chart. The only difference is that it is oriented horizontally, instead of vertically. The length of the bar is proportional to the data value.	The stacked bar chart is similar to the bar chart, but with one major difference. It includes a legend, which divides each bar into additional sections by color. Stacked bar charts are typically used when you want to compare aggregated data and the data that it includes together.

Line Column Charts	Area Charts	Stacked Area Charts
The line column chart combines the column and line charts. Line column charts display one measure as a column chart, and the other as a line chart. Each of these measures has its own y-axis.	The area chart is based on the line chart, but has filled in regions. Area charts display quantitative data graphically.	The stacked area chart is an area chart with an attribute in the legend, which divides the area into layers. Stacked area charts show the relative contribution to the accumulated total of a measure over time.

Line Stacked Column Charts	Scatter Charts	Bubble Charts
This chart is similar to the line column chart, except that it divides its columns with an attribute in the legend.	Scatter charts display your data as a collection of points, which can either be evenly or unevenly distributed. The scatter chart is useful for finding correlations or outliers in your data.	The bubble chart is a variation of the scatter chart, and its data points appear as bubbles. The bubble chart displays three to five dimensions or measures of data.

Waterfall Charts	Treemap Charts	Funnel Charts
The waterfall chart shows how an initial value is affected by a series of intermediate positive or negative values. Waterfall charts are good for visualizing positive and negative growth, and therefore work well with the growth over time keyword.	The treemap chart displays hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles. Treemap charts use color and rectangle size to represent two measure values. Each rectangle, or branch, is a value of the attribute. Some branches can contain smaller rectangles, or sub-branches.	The funnel chart shows a process with progressively decreasing proportions amounting to 100 percent in total. A funnel chart is similar to a stacked percent column chart and is often used to represent macro stages in the hiring process

Sankey Charts	Radar Charts	Pareto Charts
The Sankey chart type contains both columns and a special type of line chart. Sankey diagrams illustrate a flow-through process. For example when you want to show the flow of candidates through different stages or visualize the outcomes of sourcing or diversity efforts.	The radar chart contains both columns and a special type of line chart. It displays data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more qualities, represented on axes that radiate from the same point.	A Pareto chart uses the 80/20 rule to rank factors by impact, highlighting the 80% that drive results for focused, efficient improvements.

---

KPI Charts	Pivot Table	CandleStick Charts
KPI charts allow you to track the changes in important KPIs (key performance indicator) in your data.	Pivot tables enable you to explore an alternate visualization of your data in a wide, customizable table. With pivot tables, you can use the same table to visualize some of your data horizontally, and some data vertically.	At this time, this chart will not be applicable.

Heatmap Charts

Heatmap charts are similar to treemap charts. They both use a similar system of color coding to represent data values. However, the heatmap does not use size to measure data, and instead requires an additional attribute.

Geo charts

Geo charts show data on a map by location. There are three geo charts that let you visualize geographical data: Geo Area, Geo Bubble, and Geo Heatmap.

Geo Area	Geo Bubbble	Geo Heatmap
Geo area charts highlight the regions of interest, and display boundaries for various regions. To paint a geo area chart, your search must include a geographical column with appropriate granularity.	Geo bubble charts, like bubble charts, display the value of the measure through the relative size of the bubble. Zip code data is a good choice for geo bubble charts.	Geo heatmap charts display the value of the measure through the depth of color of the area. Use geo heatmap charts to see the relative value or density of a measure by location (for example, "count of candidates" relative to "candidate state").
