FAQ

What is the difference between a pie chart and a bar chart?

1. A pie chart is mainly used to show how each part contributes to the whole.
2. A bar chart is better for comparing values across different categories.
3. If you mainly need to show proportions with a small number of categories, a pie chart is usually the better fit. If there are many categories, a bar chart may be easier to read.

Does the amount of data affect how a pie chart looks?

1. Yes. When there are too many categories, each slice becomes smaller and harder to read.
2. Keep the main categories when possible and use data filters to retain the most important data.
3. If you need to show many categories, consider switching to a bar chart or another chart type that handles multi-category comparison more clearly.

How do I modify a pie chart after it has been created?

1. Click the existing pie chart component in the dashboard.
2. Click the top-right ... icon and choose Configure.
3. Adjust settings in the Type and Data or Chart Style tab, then click OK.
