ℹ️  Scoreboard Charts for Dashboards

Josh Boxer

Charts can be created as bar charts, line charts, pie charts etc. These charts can be collated together to form a Dashboard that users of the Space or Consumer users can use to monitor progress and data trends.

There is a type of chart called a Scoreboard, which can be used to highlight important values or metrics

A Scoreboard takes the first value from the selected column, this can be a number, percentage, text string or date. If there are multiple values to highlight, clicking Add series will include the first value from the second chosen column

Like other charts, clicking on the chart opens a color picker that lets you select the color for that series.

You can have up to 6 values/series in a single Scoreboard chart. These can be in either a grid or in a list:

If your Scoreboard is highlighting numeric value that changes over time then you can add additional insight by selecting 'Colored per threshold', which sets the color based on the current value in the chosen series:

Example Dashboard using a Scoreboard to highlight where (and when) the data powering the Dashboard came from:

To do this, the Source step on the Workflow using the file includes metadata, which is fed into a Snapshot step. The Snapshot has a Chart action to create a Chart object (outside the Workflow) that can then be used in a Dashboard.
