Creating a Chart
Virto Charts App builds a complete dashboard of visual charts from the data you choose in a single click. This page shows how to create a dashboard and set up its charts. Each chart type is described in Chart types.
Open the chart settings
Open the chart settings with the gear icon in the top right-hand corner of the app.
Click New to create a chart.
Set up the dashboard
Specify the dashboard name. Later you will switch between dashboards in this dropdown:
Select the Default checkbox to show the new dashboard first on the screen. Choose the site from the site collection and pick the source SharePoint list.
Choose the chart type
Once you pick a source list, a dropdown with the available chart types appears. Choose the type you’d like to use and specify the chart title.
Five chart types are available:
- Status
- Members
- Completion
- Burndown by tasks
- Lead time
Define the field to display for the chosen chart type. For example, for a Status chart you can choose Priority, Task Status, Labels, Project or Goal. Some chart types need additional fields:
- User field — for the Members chart type.
- Due date field — for the Completion chart type.
Remember to save the chart.
Continue with Chart types for a detailed description of each chart.
