Data is not just a buzzword; it’s a strategic asset.
From sales figures to customer engagement metrics, data plays an important role in helping your business grow. But here’s the catch: without the right visualization, uncovering actionable insights can be a challenge.
For example, let’s say you want to know which marketing channels are driving the highest amount of website traffic and conversions. A line chart would show how performance changes over time, but not highlight the performance of one channel versus another.
So, the way you visualize your data is just as important as the data itself. The right visualization will help you spot trends and opportunities you wouldn’t have seen otherwise.And…we’ve got something in store for you!
Our team has been tirelessly working on one of our most anticipated features: Advanced Charts. With new visualization types and more powerful capabilities, you’ll be able to explore and visualize your data easier than ever before.
We’ll be adding 5 new visualization types to our library: Radial Progress, Spider Diagram, Horizontal Bar Chart, Bubble Chart, and Data Stories.
Inspired by the health tracking “rings” on the Apple Watch, the Radial Progress visualization simplifies goal tracking. You can add up to 15 metrics to see how your goals are progressing within a specific project – at a glance.
You can use Spider Diagrams to compare up to 15 metrics and 15 related dimensions at once. By observing the polygon shapes, you can quickly spot patterns and anomalies in your data.
You can use a Horizontal Bar Chart to compare the performance of different dimensions or metrics. The length of the bar represents your values, making it easy to spot top-performing categories. You can add up to 15 metrics to a Horizontal Bar Chart in Databox.
The Bubble Chart helps you explore data relationships in an easy-to-consume format. The bubble sizes represent your metric values, so you can quickly pinpoint correlations between your metrics and dimensions. You can add up to 15 metrics, each with 15 dimensions.
The Data Story visualization you know and love from reports is now available in Dashboards! Data Stories are easy-to-read text summaries about how your metric is performing. Your text will update automatically with the latest data, giving you more time to focus on what matters most.
Presenting data the way you want it isn’t about convenience. It’s about making sure you find the insights and answers you’re looking for in your data.
That’s why we’re working on new capabilities, making our charts more intuitive, and improving existing visualizations. All with one goal in mind: to give you the flexibility to visualize and explore your data however you want.
Soon, you’ll be able to…
As part of this update, we will transition all dashboards to the new visualization types, and as a result, some existing visualizations will be deprecated.
Here’s the list of visualization types that will no longer be supported:
But the updates don’t stop there — we’re making it easier than ever to create and update dashboards in Databox.
With the new Dashboard Designer, you’ll be able to add data from multiple sources into a single dashboard with just one click (literally).
You’ll also be able to quickly switch between different visualization types to find the best way to represent your data.
Plus, we’re updating the dashboard canvas to a 16×8 layout. This means you have more flexibility in the ways you can present your data.
With new visualization types and enhanced flexibility, you’ll soon be able to create more powerful and comprehensive dashboards. See more clearly how your data connects, uncover new growth opportunities, and make informed decisions for your business.
Stay tuned as these exciting updates are just around the corner!
