Creating custom charts
Updated over 6 months ago

Once you have added tags and properties to your calendar events, you can create custom reports to visualize your time insights in different chart. These can be reports of how your team spends time in a given week or month, which project or client takes most or least time, and identify any inefficiencies or time-consuming tasks.

Use pre-built templates

1. Go to any of your "Analyze" pages and feel free to create and rename your page. Once you're there, hit "+ Add chart" and choose "from template".

2. You will see a popup with pre-built templates, feel free to choose any template that you feel fits your needs and hit "+ add chart".

3. To make changes to your charts, click on the action button "..." on the right side and "Edit". You can change the type of chart, measurement, and grouping options.

3. After adjusting your charts click on "Update chart" and you are done.

Let's look at creating charts from scratch - you can do this in the same window.

2. Click on "+ Add chart" and select "Add chart from scratch" here.

2. Choose a type of chart (e.g. pie chart, bar chart), what you want to measure (hours or number of events), and how you want to group your data (by data source, by category or subcategory, or any other properties you've created).

3. Once you're done setting your chart requirements, click on "Add chart".

That's it! That's how you can create a new chart from scratch.

Note: There are different chart types available in Tackle, all listed below.

1. Pie chart

Displays data as a circular chart, showing proportions of a whole by dividing into slices. Great for capturing insights about how you spend your time in a given time frame or seeing who in your team contributes most to a selected projects, and much more.

You can further drill down into child tag's data analysis or view events associated with a tag or property by clicking on the relevant section of a pie chart.

2. Donut chart

Similar to a pie chart but with total hours count in the center, conveying data in ring-shaped segments.

3. Bar chart

This chart uses rectangular bars to represent data with lengths proportional to the values they represent. Great for spotting projects or clients that cost lots of time or aren't getting enough attention for each team member.

4. Column chart

Similar to a bar chart, presenting data vertically using columns.

5. Area chart

Represents data over time, showcasing trends and magnitudes by filling the area beneath the line. It's great for capturing week over week (WoW) or month over month (MoM) changes.

6. Line chart

Great for displaying trends or changes over time.
