Configuring Charts with a Diagram Tile

Overview

In a Page Designer, a Diagram Tile component can be used to create a quick infographic to be displayed on a Dashboard. While Diagram Tiles have a multitude of uses and customizations, this tutorial focuses on the Line Graph component. Line graphs are used to track changes over a period of time.

Example

1. To begin, navigate to a Designer Folder and select CREATE FORM from the bottom action panel.
2. In the Create Form window, select Page/Dashboard, then select and name the default Page and click CREATE.
3. In the Page Designer, from the Page Elements > Tiles section, drag a Diagram Tile component to the Page.
4. From the Properties panel of the Diagram Tile component, under Diagram Tile > Diagram Tile Flow select Create.
5. In the Create New Flow window, name the Flow, then select CREATE.
6. In the Flow Designer, locate the Steps > Charts section and drag a Lines component to the workspace.
7. Navigate to the Properties panel >  Chart Setup > Chart Style and select SimpleDoubleSeries.

   SimpleSingleSeries	This will allow the user to build a line graph Diagram Tile component with one line.
   SimpleDoubleSeries	This will allow the user to build a line graph Diagram Tile component with two lines.
   MultipleSeries	This will allow the user to build a line graph Diagram Tile component with more than two lines. This selection will also allow the Diagram Tile to take in a list of data.

8. Next, navigate to Chart Setup - View and select Yes for Show Label and Show Value.
9. Locate the X- and Y-Axis Label fields and add corresponding names to the data that will be represented.
10. Then, locate the Inputs > Series1 and Series2 and change the inputs for both to Select From Flow then click ADD INPUT for both. 
    1. Add corresponding value names that reflect the line titles. 
11. Save and close the Flow Designer.
12. In the Page Designer, locate the Diagram Tile section in the Properties panel and click EDIT under Input Data Flow.
13. In the Flow Designer, connect the Start step to the End step.
14. With the End step selected, navigate to the Properties panel > Inputs to change the input mapping of BusinessA and BusinessB to Constant.
    For example purposes, constant data has been mapped in; data can also be dynamically populated using the Select From Flow input mapping type.
15. In each value field, input example data to populate the line graph.
16. Save and close the Flow Designer.
17. Save and Close the Page Designer.
18. In the Designer Folder, right-click on the Page with the Diagram Tile and navigate to View > Preview Page.
