Concept: Charts
You can display report results as a chart, gauge, or table for these report types:
- Advanced
- Composite
- Matrix
- Trending
Workday plots rows as categories along the horizontal axis. Columns represent the data series, and each data series has a unique color in the chart legend. If you configure a report-specific custom categorical color palette, Workday assigns these colors sequentially from your custom palette. Your custom palette selections are maintained when you switch between different chart types that support categorical color palettes. If you switch to an unsupported chart type, the chart automatically uses the default Workday palette.
For all charts types except for donut, you can plot more than 1 data series on a chart.
When viewing a chart, you can:
- Drill into matrix report charts the same way you can drill into matrix report tables.
- Switch the categories with the data series so that rows represent the data series.
For composite, matrix, and trending reports, you can visualize changes in your data and compare metrics with different scales using dual axis charts. A dual axis enables you to overlay 2 of these chart types:
- Area - Overlaid
- Column - Clustered
- Line
The
Secondary Axis
section is available when you select the Add Secondary Axis
check box or select 1 of these chart types as the Primary Axis
:
- Area - Overlaid
- Column - Clustered
- Line
