Bar chart

The Bar chart is a chart type available in reports. It displays data as vertical bars, with each bar representing a value or quantity that corresponds to a specific category. Bar charts are useful for comparing data.

For example, the active and completed tasks per employee for a month can be displayed: The bar chart is created from report data and consists of two axes:

• Horizontal axis (X) — represents categories (e.g., days of the week, project names).
• Vertical axis (Y) — represents numerical values (e.g. number of tasks completed, hours worked, sales amounts).

To ensure that relevant data is displayed, use grouping and sorting.

Setup

• In the "Report view", add the columns that will form the bar chart.
• Go to the "Charts and graphs" section and add a new "Bar" type chart:

• In "Data to display", set the following:
  • Columns on which the chart will be based: "Active tasks", "Completed tasks".
  • Grouping: By the "Assignee" column.
  • Sort: by the "Active tasks" column, ascending.

• In the "View" section, you configure how the chart is displayed:
  • "Chart height" — defines the height of the chart in pixels.
  • "Legend location" — controls how the axis labels are displayed. Tip: Use "Vertical" for longer labels to save space, "Horizontal" is best for shorter labels.
  • "Colors" — helps to differentiate between data groups using different colors.

• Save the chart and run the report to view it.
