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.
