Overview

The Ratio chart is used to compare groups of forms visually by a specified variable eg. workflow column, form creator, list item, project or team.

Like all charts, you can setup a Ratio chart either at a company level, or within a specific Team folder.

How to set up a Ratio Chart

  • In a Team folder, your charts can only refer to Templates in the same Team folder

  • At company level, your charts can only refer to Templates in your Template Library that have been deployed to at least 1 Team Folder

  1. Go to Analytics

  2. Create a Dashboard, or open an existing Dashboard

  3. Click 'Add chart'

  4. Choose 'Ratio'

  5. Select which template will be the source

  6. Your chart will appear! By default it will be shown as the 'Pie chart'
