Reference: Chart Types
Workday enables you to configure output display options for your data by supporting
these chart types:
Chart Type | Description |
|---|---|
Area - 100% | Plots the trend of the percentage each value contributes to the total
for each category over time or categories. Each item in the data series
makes up a portion of the area based on its percentage of the category
total. |
Area - Overlaid | Plots the trend of values over time or categories and overlays each
item in the series on top of another. Workday plots the first item in a
data series first, then overlays the remaining items in the data
series. Overlaid area charts display best in 3D. |
Area - Stacked | Plots the trend of the amount of each value over time or
categories. |
Bar - 100% | Displays the percentage each value contributes to the total for each
category in horizontal bars. Each bar represents 1 category. Each item in
the data series makes up a portion of the bar width. Workday bases the
width of the bar on the percentage of the category total. |
Bar - Clustered | Displays the value of each category in horizontal bars. |
Bar - Stacked | Displays the amount each value contributes to the total for each
category in horizontal bars. Each bar represents 1 category. Each item in
the data series makes up a portion of the bar height. Workday bases the
height of the bar on the proportion of the category total. |
Bubble | Plots the relationship between triplets of numeric values along a horizontal and
vertical axis. 2 values determine the bubble position, while the third value
determines the bubble size. You can plot 1 or more data series on a bubble
chart. Each data series has a unique color or pattern. |
Column - 100% | Displays the percentage each value contributes to the total for each
category in vertical columns. Each column represents 1 category. Each item
in the data series makes up a portion of the column based on its
percentage of the category total. |
Column - Clustered | Displays the value of each category in vertical columns. |
Column - Stacked | Displays the amount each value contributes to the total for each
category in vertical columns. Each column represents 1 category. Each item
in the data series makes up a portion of the column based on its
proportion of the category total. |
Donut | Displays the relationship between the whole and each part of that
whole. Donut charts display only 1 data series. Each category has a
unique color for each donut segment. |
Gauge | Displays a single value on a gauge, like a speedometer in a
car. |
Line | Plots data points over time. The slope of the line indicates the
trend. Line charts are most useful if you want to display at least
10 data points over a period of time. If you have fewer than 10 data
points and you want to display a count or amount at specific times, use
a column chart. |
Scatter | Plots the relationship between pairs of numeric values along a
horizontal and vertical axis. You can plot 1 or more data series in a
scatter chart. Each data series has a unique color or
pattern. |
Using Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT), you can display these chart types in
3D:
- Area
- Bar
- Line
For composite, matrix, and trending reports, you can visualize changes in your data and
compare metrics with different scales using dual axis charts. A dual axis enables
you to overlay 2 of these chart types:
- Area - Overlaid
- Column - Clustered
- Line
The
Secondary Axis
section is available when you select the
Add Secondary Axis
check box or select 1 of these chart
types as the Primary Axis
:- Area - Overlaid
- Column - Clustered
- Line
