Board tiles

Every kind of tile a dashboard can hold. Pick by the question: a chart says how many, a map says where, a table lists the rows.

  • Bars, side by side — One bar per series in each slot along the bottom, standing next to each other.
  • Bars, horizontal — One bar per category running left to right, the names down the left and each value at its bar’s end — longest first.
  • Bars, stacked — The series in each slot are stacked into one column, so its height is their total.
  • Bars, horizontal, stacked — One bar per category running left to right, its series stacked end to end so the bar is their total — names down the left, the total at the bar’s end, longest first.
  • Line — One line per series across the slots along the bottom.
  • Area — A line with the space under it filled in.
  • Area, stacked — Filled areas stacked on each other, so the top edge is the total over time.
  • One number — A single figure for the whole table — a count, a sum or an average — with no axis.
  • Funnel — Steps drawn top to bottom, each narrower than the last, with the drop between them.
  • Pie — Shares of one whole as wedges of a circle.
  • Timeline (when things happened) — Each row drawn as a bar from its start to its end, one lane per row — a Gantt chart.
  • How many at once — How many rows were in progress at each moment, stepped along a time axis.
  • Range (dot and whisker) — For each slot along the bottom and each series, a dot at the average of a number column and a whisker from its smallest to its largest value — a price ladder.
  • Map — The table’s rows as pins on a map, each opening to the row’s details.
  • Table — A saved view of the table’s rows — filtered, sorted and capped — printed as a list.
  • Note — Text written on the board itself — a heading, an explanation, a caveat.
