Configure Area Chart | Zoho Creator Help

Configure area chart

Area charts are similar to line charts, the difference being that the area between the x-axis and line is filled with color or pattern. Using area charts, users can analyze individual as well as an overall change in your data and are ideal for displaying trends over a period for single or multiple field values. These charts offer a simple presentation that is easy to interpret at a glance. A stacked area chart shows data series plotted with filled areas that are stacked, one on top of the other. Area chart configuration includes setting values for the x and y axes.

To configure a area chart

  1. Edit your application.
  2. Select the required page, then open the  page builder .
  3. Click the  Chart  option from the page elements menu on the left. A menu will slide in.
  4. Drag and drop an  area chart  from the area chart types available in the gallery. The  Chart Configuration  pane slides in from the right. 

  5. Select a  form  to represent its data on the chart.

    Note:  The   Form   dropdown lists all the forms in the application you are currently working on. To select a form from another application, click the  Change App  in blue in the footer of the form dropdown. Select another application and click  Done  to view all the forms in it.
  6. Select a  field  to map the category axis (x-axis).
  7. Enter a  label  for the x-axis.

  8. Choose a  value type  to be displayed on the y-axis.
    • Aggregate : Display the aggregate such as  Sum  or  Count  of the field. 

    • Actual : Display the actual value of the field.

  9. Enter a  label  for the y-axis.
  10. Evaluate for:
    • All Records : Evaluates for all the records in the form.

    • Selected Records : Evaluates for records based on the set criteria.
      • To set criteria: Click  Selected Records > Select Field > Select Operator > Enter a value  . Choose  AND  or  OR  to add criteria. 

  11. Click the  Preview  option at the top right of the  Chart Configuration  pane to view a preview of the configured chart.
  12. Close the preview window and make further edits to the chart or click  Done  to confirm submission.

To configure a stacked area chart

  1. Repeat steps 1-7 as above.
  2. After  Step 7  in the area chart configuration, choose a  Stack by   field from the drop down. This field defines the values based on which each area of the area chart will be broken into.

  3. Continue configuring from  Step 8 .
