Charts

WarningSome of the options mentioned in this document are being released in a phased manner and may only be available to specific users.
Alert
The Dashboards tab is renamed as Analytics for selected accounts.

A chart presents data from various records of a module(s) in a visual or graphical representation for an easy analysis. The data is seemingly comprehensible as users can easily pick out the patterns, trends, etc., which may otherwise be difficult to interpret. For example, you are the Sales Manager for Asia Pacific region and want to compare the number of leads created by the sales representatives in the previous year. You can easily achieve this by creating charts in your dashboard and compare the number of leads created by different sales reps.

In Zoho CRM charts, you can:

  • Create different types of charts depending on your business requirement.
  • Present information in a graphical pattern that is more comprehensible.
  • Customize, reorder, and organize the charts in the dashboards.
  • Group data by day, calendar week, fiscal week, month, fiscal quarter, year, by fiscal year or fiscal quarter.

Based on your business requirement you can select from the below mentioned list of charts:

Chart Type Description
Bar chart & Horizontal chart To display two or more kinds of data, that can be used to compare values across categories.
Line Chart To display a trend over a period with the variations in the multiple values in a single chart.
