New to Dashboards (formerly known as Analytics)? Start here.

To create a Line chart of your submission data, first navigate to your Dashboards page.

Select the Dashboard you would like to use. You can also click on "Add dashboard" to create and name a new Dashboard.

Click on the "Add Chart" button.

You will now be prompted to "Select your Source" in step 1. The "Select Your Source" drop down will only contain names of forms which have at least one submission in the Device Magic Database Destination. The chart data is mapped directly from this source. This Destination should be added to your form by default. For instructions on enabling this Destination, please visit this article.

Select your chart type by clicking on the line chart icon below. Then click "Next".

In step 2, you have the option to choose all of the metadata fields and form questions you'd like incorporated within the chart. These questions are grouped based on their corresponding type.

The Numeric question named "Odometer reading" and "Date" (not pictured) questions are selected.  

You are also given the opportunity to preview your data, by clicking on the "Preview Data" button.

This will show you a preview of the data that has previously been submitted to the fields you have selected. 

In this example, both values for all submissions are shown. 

Click on "Back" to return to the previous page and then click "Next" when you are ready for step 3.

In step 3, you will configure and create your chart. A title for the chart can be added in the "Title" section.

You're required to assign one field to the X Axis. "Date" has been selected. 

Finally, choose a field for the Y Axis. "Odometer reading" has been chosen.

When you're satisfied, click "Create". The new chart will appear on your Dashboard.

On the top right-hand corner of your chart, you can select the date range, chart options menu, and move your chart. For more information on these features, please view this article
