Charts

BraDypUS can generate charts from the data in any table. Charts are private to their creator by default and can be shared with all users of the application (see Sharing and access).

Open a chart from the Charts panel inside RecordView, or from the chart icon in the sidebar if a standalone chart view is available.

Creating a chart

Inside any table's DataView, click the Charts button in the toolbar to open the chart panel. Click New chart and configure:

TODO_SCREENSHOT: Chart configuration form showing table, chart type, and axis field selectors

FieldDescription
NameLabel for this chart
Chart typebar, line, pie, doughnut, or metric (single number)
X fieldThe field to group by (horizontal axis / pie segments)
Y fieldThe field to aggregate
Y functionAggregation: COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX

Click Save to create the chart. It appears in the chart list and can be opened by any user.

Viewing a chart

TODO_SCREENSHOT: A rendered pie chart showing the distribution of records by period

The chart updates in real-time from the current data. Use the Filter toggle to apply the active DataView search filter to the chart data.

The saved-charts list shows all your charts, including those created on other tables: they appear dimmed, with the name of their table next to them. Running one executes it against its own table — the table currently open in DataView does not matter.

Sharing and access

A new chart is private: only its creator sees it in the list. The owner can share it with all users of the application (star icon) and unshare it at any time. Shared charts can be run by anyone but edited or deleted only by their owner.

Deleting a chart

Click Delete in the chart list. Only the chart definition is deleted — no record data is affected.
