About This Feature

Overview

Line Chart is a chart component in WPS dashboards that helps you display how data changes over time or in order. After adding the chart, you can continue to configure the data source, data range, X-axis and Y-axis settings, grouping, sorting, and chart style. You can also copy, export as an image, or delete the chart.

Core capabilities include:

Create a line chart: Add a default line chart from the + Add Component panel.
Open the chart menu: Use the ... menu in the upper-right corner to configure, copy, copy as image, export as image, or delete the chart.
Configure type and data: Set the data source, data range, dimension, metric, grouping, and sorting.
Adjust chart style: Change theme colors, line effects, series colors, and chart elements.
Export and reuse: Copy the chart or export it as an image for reports and sharing.

This feature works well for sales trends, order changes, project progress, and periodic metric comparisons.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Add a line chart in a dashboard, then configure the data source, dimension, metric, grouping, sorting, style, and image export options in one workflow.	Excel supports multiple line chart types and is designed for showing trends over time or across evenly spaced categories.	Google Sheets supports line charts for trends over time and lets you customize titles, series, legends, axes, and gridlines.	Notion chart view supports line charts in databases, with X/Y axis settings, grouping, smooth lines, legends, and PNG or SVG download options.	Acrobat Help focuses on PDF creation, editing, and conversion, and does not provide a native spreadsheet-style line chart creation workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The dashboard workflow keeps chart insertion, data setup, style adjustment, and image export in one component panel. Distinct: Data configuration and chart output actions stay together in the same editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Excel documentation focuses on spreadsheet chart types rather than a dashboard component workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on spreadsheet chart editing, with less emphasis on a dashboard-style component entry point.	Compared with WPS: Notion charts depend on database views, and the Free Plan can try one chart while paid plans can create more charts.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat does not offer a comparable native line-chart creation entry point and is centered on PDF workflows instead.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to add and adjust a trend chart directly inside a dashboard, WPS provides a more centralized workflow. If your work is mainly spreadsheet-based, Excel or Google Sheets may fit better. If your workflow is built around database views, Notion is a practical lightweight alternative.
