How to Create a Histogram Chart
In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of creating a Histogram. Histograms are great for visualizing the distribution of a dataset. Let's get started!
1. Access the Dashboard
2. Choose the Chart Type
3. Add a Chart Tag
4. Add a Chart Title
5. Add a Chart Description
6. Input Minimum and Maximum Values
7. Configure Chart Display Options
8. Bins Number Input
9. Histogram Distribution Options
10. Configure X and Y Axis Titles
11. Add a Query
To begin creating your Histogram, first access your dashboard. If you haven't set up a dashboard yet, you'll need to create one. Once inside your dashboard, click on the "Add Chart" button if you're in the "Create New Dashboard" dialog, or click on the plus (+) icon if you're in the "Edit Dashboard" dialog.
A dialog will appear prompting you to select the type of chart you wish to create. From the dropdown menu, select "Histogram".
Next, you'll need to add a chart tag. This tag should be related to the Scorecard you're creating. For example, if you're creating a Histogram for user distribution , you might choose a tag like Hist_users.
Now, add a title for your chart. This title should represent what the chart is about. For example,if you want to show a histogram sjowing user distribution you might choose a title like Users distribution.
Provide a description like Distribution of users to give users a clear understanding of the histogram's content.
Specify the range of values you want to analyze by inputting the minimum and maximum values.
Enable the "Force the Display of the Chart in Full Width" option to ensure your histogram spans the entire width of the display area.
Determine the number of bins you want for your histogram. Bins represent the intervals you want to divide your data into.
Toggle the following options based on your requirements:
- Is cumulative: This will display a cumulative histogram, where each bin gives the counts for that bin plus all bins for smaller values.
- Is normalized: This will display the data in a way that the area under the histogram is equal to 1.
- Show density: This will display the data in a way that shows the number of data points per unit value.
Provide appropriate titles for your X and Y axes to clearly label the data being represented.
Lastly, input the appropriate query to fetch the data for your histogram.
Add your filters accordingly
That's it! You've now successfully set up a Histogram. Preview your dashboard to see the histogram in action.
