Panels and Visualization

Use this guide to pick panel types that communicate data clearly.

Panel Types

  • Line: trends over time
  • Bar: side-by-side comparisons
  • Pie: share of total
  • Stat: single KPI value
  • Table: detailed record view
  • Gauge: progress toward a target
  • Text: notes, goals, and commentary

Best Use Cases

  • Use Stat for top-level KPIs (spend, clicks, conversions).
  • Use Line for daily/weekly direction.
  • Use Bar for period comparisons (7d vs 30d).
  • Use Table when teams need to inspect exact values.

Table Behavior

  • Tables support pagination.
  • Rows per page adjust to panel height.
  • Row limits in query settings help keep dashboards responsive.

Value Colors (Stat/Gauge)

  • You can define thresholds (for example red/yellow/green).
  • Stat cards can change value color based on the number.
  • Gauges use thresholds to color segments.

Preview and Save

  • Use Run Live Preview before saving changes.
  • Preview helps confirm formatting, labels, and panel readability.

Design Tips

  • Keep dashboards scannable: top KPIs first, details below.
  • Avoid overcrowding one panel with too many metrics.
  • Use clear aliases so legends and labels are easy to read.
