Understanding Chart Widgets

Charts play a vital role in displaying live and historical data from devices and assets for data visualization and data analysis purposes. Zoho IOT provides a wide range of chart type widgets to showcase these data in colorful and appealing formats for easy interpretation. They are segregated into Realtime and Historical charts.

You can construct charts ranging from simple live data plotting charts to intelligent comparison charts. The drill down view in charts provides you more insight into the data that constitutes the chart value.

Image: Different type of charts

Realtime charts styles for live monitoring are :

Historical charts styles for analysis purposes are :

You can use the Advanced Option in cards and charts to perform detailed comparative analysis. The available options are KPI Bar, Ranking/Sorting, Threshold Line, and Axis Settings.

More details on the advanced options in widgets is available in the Understanding Widgets document.

Column Chart

This style is used to display data as vertical bars, grouped based on time periods or instance property for comparative study purposes. The vertical height of the graph can represent values which can be a count of a module/model or an aggregate value of a datapoint, such as AVG, SUM, MIN value, etc.

Tip: You can use the Advanced Options > Threshold Line option to include a Line across the vertical bars to set a boundary.
