Overview

Learn how to use charts in Noloco

You can easily add charts to your Noloco apps both on collection views and on blank pages.

In this video, learn how to:

Configure the charts display option on collection views
Choose the perfect chart type for your data
Make charts take up the full-width of the screen
Use blank pages to add charts from different data collections
Filter chart data to only show data that meet certain criteria
Add visibility rules to control who can see specific charts

Where can I add charts to my app?

You can choose the charts display option on collection views and you can also add charts to blank pages.

If you want to add multiple charts to the same page pulling in data from different collections, you'll have to add a Blank page (as shown in the video) as opposed to using a collection view.

What chart types can I choose from?

You have six different options for charts in Noloco.

Line charts

Line charts display trends over time by connecting data points with a continuous line, making it easy to visualize changes and patterns in data across intervals.

Bar charts

Bar charts use easy to read bars to represent data values, allowing for straightforward comparison of different categories or groups within a dataset.

Stacked Bar Charts

Stacked bar charts break down and compare parts of a whole across different categories by stacking bars, providing a clear view of the composition of each bar segment.

Area charts

Area charts are similar to line charts but with the area below the line filled in, which emphasizes the magnitude of changes over time and shows cumulative totals.

Donut Charts

Donut charts are a variation of pie charts with a central hole, used to represent proportions of a whole, making it easier to compare different segments.

Funnel Charts

Funnel charts visualize the progressive reduction of data as it passes through sequential stages, commonly used to track sales or user journey processes.

Radar Charts

Radar charts display multivariate data on a two-dimensional plane with axes starting from the same point, ideal for comparing the performance of multiple variables or categories.

Statistics

Statistic charts present a single, prominent number that summarizes a key aspect of a dataset, offering a quick and clear insight into a specific metric or value.
