Step Chart

    The Step Chart is a distinctive way to illustrate data, emphasizing step-like progressions, which is particularly useful for highlighting discrete changes over time or categories.

Navigation to Create/Edit a Step Chart:

1. Access the Dashboard:
   • Navigate to the dashboard where you intend to add or edit a metric card.
2. Create or Edit a Metric Card:
   • For a new chart, click on "Create Metric" in the desired dashboard.
   • To edit an existing chart, open the metric card you wish to modify.
3. Choose Chart Type:
   • In the metric editing interface, locate the "Chart Type" selector.
   • Select "Step" from the available chart types.

Customizing the Step Chart:

When working with multiple measures in the Step Chart, the following customization options are available under the "Appearance" tab:

• Hide 0/Null Values: This option allows you to hide data points in the chart where the value is zero or null, ensuring a cleaner and more focused visual representation.
• Enable Chart Zoom: Activating this feature enables users to zoom in on specific areas of the chart for a more detailed view, enhancing the user interaction with the data.

In addition to these appearance options, you can also set up actions for the chart under the "Actions" tab, as well as customize various aspects of the "Appearance" tab. For more detailed information on both appearance customization and setting up chart actions, please refer to Chart Appearance and Chart Actions.

The Step Chart is particularly effective for visualizing data that involves transitions or changes at discrete intervals, offering a clear and intuitive understanding of the dataset.
