Display & Formatting
Field Interpretation
Title Font Color Set the title font color of the widget
Title Font Size The default title font size is 14px.
Font size To set the size of the font
Font color To set the color of the font
Grid line thickness Grid line thickness value
Cell Padding Padding of cell content
Data Format Formatting for one or more fields
Auto Scale (Sizing) This turns the proportions of the grid from absolute sizing to variable based on the size of the container. This will make the font sizes, row and column height/widths all based on the container and not an absolute pixel size.
It ensures that anybody viewing the grid can see the same thing regardless of screen size.
For example, if one screen size is displaying 5 records, the same 5 records will show in a smaller screen size and the ratio of the column widths would be the same. The footer size ratio may also need to be adjusted.
Column and Header Settings

Conditional Formatting: This allows to you customize each column on the datagrid so that it can be highlighted differently based on your selection. You can also set the gradient color by applying the code values.

Apply the following options: Condition, Value, Cell Color, Font Color, and Row Level.

For example: If you want to sort the 'Employment Status' column by any status or color specifically you can apply these conditions to the 'Employment Status' column the you can filter and highlight the column based on your interest. Additionally, you can add multiple conditions based on your interest by clicking on "+" icon.
Text Wrap: Select this to continue on the text on the next line within the same text box or if it should overflow outside the box.

Creating Sparklines: To create a sparkline within a chart your data must first be in array format.

If you data is not in array format, you can use the ARRAY() function in Cloud9QL. You can add an array function via Settings > Data Transformation > Add Function.

Filter

In the examples below, we have illustrated adding the array formats for six different visualizations including line, area, bar, spine, and more.

Line Visualization: Click on the +Add Function button to add an array format for a line visualization. Line

Area Visualization: Click on the +Add Function button to add an array format for an area visualization. Area

Bar Visualization: Click on the +Add Function button to add an array format for a bar visualization. Bar

Spline Visualization: Click on the +Add Function button to add an array format for spline visualization. Spline

Spline Area Visualization: Click on the +Add Function button to add an array format for spline area visualization. Splinearea

Pie Visualization: Click on the +Add Function button to add an array format for a pie visualization. Pie

Once your data is in array format, you can turn your data into sparklines via settings.

Spreadsheet Widget

The Spreadsheet Widget is a visualization type that lets the user customize and visualize data in an Excel-like spreadsheet. It enables most Excel features, including functions, styling, sorting, and filtering. The Spreadsheet widget allows users to add sheets to work on the dataset. It can also generate shareable reports and clone the spreadsheet for further computations.

X-Axis Sub Groups

The sub group allows you to add one or more column levels or column sub-grouping by X axis. The chart outputs the values in columns. The sub-group can have multiple levels of hierarchy of the parent column group on the X-Axis. Enabling this functionality segregates the parent group into its children (sub groups) with respect to the legends.

Example: In the column visualization below, you can observe how the parent group - "Continent" is divided into "Country", and how the "Country" is subdivided into "City" with all of them sub-grouped together.

Column Chart Grouping

Note 1: If you select "Date/Time" from the X-Axis Type then the "X-Axis Sub Groups" field will not be visible in the interface. Note 2: You can also perform the sub-groups functionality in the Stacked Column and Bar visualization.

Stacked Column

Stacked Column Chart Grouping
X-Axis Sub Groups

The sub group allows you to add one or more column levels or column sub-grouping by X axis. The chart outputs the values in columns. The sub-group can have multiple levels of hierarchy of the parent column group on the X-Axis. Enabling this functionality segregates the parent group into its children (sub groups) with respect to the legends.

Example:

In the stacked column visualization below, you can observe how the parent group - "Continent" is divided into "Country", and how the "Country" is subdivided into "City" with all of them sub-grouped together.

stacked column

Note 1: If you select "Date/Time" from the X-Axis Type then the "X-Axis Sub Groups" field will not be visible in the interface. Note 2: You can also perform the sub-groups functionality in the Column and Bar visualization.

Bar

Bar Chart Grouping
X-Axis Sub Groups

The sub group allows you to add one or more bar levels or bar sub-grouping by X axis. The chart outputs the values in bars. The sub-group can have multiple levels of hierarchy of the parent bar group on the X-Axis. Enabling this functionality segregates the parent group into its children (sub groups) with respect to the legends.

Example:

In the bar visualization below, you can observe how the parent group - "Continent" is divided into "Country", and how the "Country" is subdivided into "City" with all of them sub-grouped together.

Bar grouping

Note 1: If you select "Date/Time" from the X-Axis Type then the "X-Axis Sub Groups" field will not be visible in the interface. Note 2: You can also perform the sub-groups functionality in the Column and Stacked Column visualization.

Sankey

Sankey diagrams are a specific type of flow diagram, in which the width of the arrows is shown proportionally to the flow quantity. The dataset requires a From, To, and a number value. For example, how many people that visited Page A went to Page B, etc. 

Note: The unique values for Sankey charts are limited to 100 to avoid performance issues in the case of huge datasets. If the unique value crosses 100, then the chart is not rendered. Instead, an error message asks you to adjust the data to keep the unique values under 100.

Graph

A graph is a set of points, called nodes or vertices, which are interconnected by a set of lines called edges. The graph visualizes how subjects are interconnected with each other.

Creating a Graph Visualization

Here is an example of Graph visualization with TigerGraph datasource:

Step 1: Create a new TigerGraph datasource & run the installed query on it to create a dataset. For this, you can refer to TigerGraph Datasource Integration documentation.

Step 2: Once the dataset is created, click on the Create Visualization button.

Tigergraph

Step 3: From Settings, select the Visualization Type as Graph.

Tigergraph

This will create a graph visualization for the widget.

Tigergraph

Alternatively, you can navigate to the dashboard and create a widget from the Tigergraph query. From there, you can use, widget settings to create a graph.

Tigergraph

Chart Settings for Graph:

  • Edges Type: This allows you to filter visible links by edge type. If nothing is set, then all links (edges) are shown.

  • Integration Type: Integration type describes how Vertexes are aligned on a graph. There are two types of integration to select from Verlet (default) and Euler.

  • Verlet: Verlet integration applies inertia by using previous and current positions.

    Tigergraph

  • Euler: Velocity is stored with the object and added whenever a new position is calculated.

    Tigergraph

Data Format:

To build Graph visualization, the data needs to be formatted to contain attributes describing both- Edge (Links) and Vertex. 

  • For Vertex v_id - ID of a Vertex (String) v_type - Vertex Type (String) attributes - additional JSON field (String) - This is passed to a Graph as a tooltip.

  • For Edge from_id - ID of a source point (Vertex) for Link from_type - Type of a source point (Vertex) for Link to_id - ID of a destination point (Vertex) for Link to_type - Type of a destination point (Vertex) for Link e_type - Type of Edge (Link) attributes - additional JSON field (String) - This is passed to a Graph as a tooltip.

Note: All edges and vertexes can be described in one single dataset. If you have separate datasets with edges and vertexes, you need to use the Query Builder to Join Queries into one single query. 

Please use Cloud9QL to combine, convert and rename fields to the format suitable for Graph.

Geo Heatmaps

Geo Heatmap for location clusters. Requires latitude and longitude values in the dataset. For datasets without latitude/longitude, see geo-coding features in Cloud9QL.

Note: This requires Google Maps connectivity for on-premise installations.
