Visualizations in Smart Discover

Pyramid offers dozens of visualizations to choose from, depending on the way in which you want to present your data. The process of choosing a visual is very straightforward in Smart Discover; simply choose the required visual from the Visualization Picker.

To learn about each of the visualizations available, follow the links below. In the linked documentation, you may disregard the step-by-step instructions on building visuals; these steps apply to report-building in Discover Pro, and are not relevant to the Smart Discover experience.

Note: The following list is annotated to indicate any visualization types that are not relevant to Smart Discover.

Gauges

Gauges are used to create KPI visuals on the fly, allowing you to define status, target, and actual value.

Grids

Grids are used to present data in rows and columns. You can typically choose from three grid types:

Cartesian charts

Cartesian charts plot data across two axes (a y-axis and an x-axis), which meet at 0.

Column charts

Not available in Smart Discover (Discover Pro and Lite only):

Bar charts
Line charts
Area charts

Segment charts

Segment Charts display each element of the given hierarchy as a different segment of the chart, with each element represented as a proportion of the whole, based on its value.

Radar charts

Radar charts are used to plot one or more series of values across multiple quantitative variables, which are represented on axes extending from a central point.

Plotted Charts

Plotted Charts (or Multi-Variable charts) plot two hierarchies across Cartesian coordinates. They are useful in finding correlations in the data set.

Advanced Charts

Advanced Charts plot multiple hierarchies in ways that can be more interesting than a typical Cartesian chart.

Maps

Maps plot data geographically, and are an excellent way to visualize the spread of data across geographical locations.
