Charts
Corteza Low Code comes with a chart builder that allows you to build line, bar, pie, and donut charts.
Create a new chart
To create a new chart, use the Create a new chart field.
Inside the chart builder, you will find the following fields:
-
Name: Enter a name for the chart; e.g., Donations.
-
Module: This is the module that provides the data to the chart.
-
Filters: You can select one of the predefined filters, such as Records created this year, or add any custom filter (such as status = "Active").
-
Dimensions: These can be Datetime and Select fields. Datetime fields allow grouping (e.g., by day, by week, by month). The Skip missing values option is handy to remove values that would return null (e.g., records with incomplete data), and Calculate how many labels can be shown can avoid overlapping labels (which is useful for charts with many dates on the X-axis).
-
Metrics: Metrics are numeric fields and have a predefined count option. You can add multiple metric blocks and give each a different label, field (source), function (COUNTD, SUM, MAX, MIN, AVG, or STD, if possible), output (line or bar), and color.
