📊 Stacked chart widgets on the dashboard

What's new

You can now view chart widgets as

stacked

charts. When you group by time (e.g. week or month) and also include attributes (e.g. location or channel), the chart shows each time period as a single bar or area made of segments—one per attribute—so you see both the total and how each part contributes.

What you can do

Turn on a stacked view
– In a chart widget, choose a metric and add both
time
grouping (e.g. Week, Month) and
attribute
grouping (e.g. Location, Channel). The chart will show stacked bars or areas: each bar is one time period, and the segments are the breakdown by that attribute. You get the total at a glance and the split in one chart.
Choose how segments look
– When the chart is stacked, you can pick a
Color Palette
(e.g. Toolio Default, Colorblind Safe, Warm, Cool) and a
Treatment
(transparency) so each segment has a clear, distinct color. Helps compare various metrics, e.g. Plan vs. Act.
Read the chart easily
– Stacked bars can show the total on top of each stack, and value labels only appear when there’s enough space, so the chart stays readable.

When to use it

Totals and breakdown together
– Use a stacked chart when you care about both “how much in total over time?” and “how much from each location (or channel, etc.)?”. One chart answers both.
Share of total over time
– See how each attribute’s share of the total changes across weeks or months—e.g. which locations are growing or shrinking their share.
Fewer separate series
– Instead of one line or bar per location and a crowded chart, use stacking to keep one bar per time period and compare segments within it.

Why it helps

See totals and breakdowns by attribute in a single view, without switching filters or widgets.
Spot trends by attribute (e.g. which locations drive growth) while keeping the overall timeline clear.
Keep charts readable by stacking segments and using clear color palettes instead of many overlapping series.
