Dashboard breakdowns and charts

The breakdowns and chart types the builder offers, and which of them work together. Dashboard measures lists the measures, their breakdowns and their windows.

Breakdowns#

Breakdown	What it groups by	Groups shown
Answer	What each answer came to at the time: Granted, Partial or Denied	Every group
Status	The record's status today	Every group
What they did	How the first answer was given. Later changes are not counted here	The largest; the rest as Other
Form	The consent form that was answered	The largest; the rest as Other
Form version	The version of the form that was answered	The largest; the rest as Other
Country	Taken from the visitor's request when the record is collected	The largest; the rest as Other
State or region	The state or region inside the country, where one was resolved	The largest; the rest as Other
Law	The law recorded on the record by the region rule that chose the form	The largest; the rest as Other
Language	The language the form was shown in	The largest; the rest as Other
Collected through	Where the answer was recorded	The largest; the rest as Other
Identifier type	What the record is kept under	The largest; the rest as Other
Records	Live records, or records made with test keys	Every group
Made by	Who made the change: the person, an operator, your server or the system	The largest; the rest as Other
Purpose	A purpose offered on the form. Strictly necessary purposes are left out	The largest; no Other
Purpose category	Purposes grouped by category, so forms that name purposes differently can be compared	The largest; no Other
Partner	A partner of one purpose, from the purpose's partner list as it is today	The largest; no Other
Request type	The right the person exercised	The largest; the rest as Other
Request status	Received, Verifying identity, In progress, Completed, Rejected	Every group
Came from	Where the request arrived	The largest; the rest as Other
Event	The webhook event that was sent	The largest; the rest as Other
Endpoint	The endpoint the event was sent to	The largest; the rest as Other
Result	Delivered or Failed	Every group
Kind	Cookie, Local storage, Session storage, Script, Embedded frame, Request	Every group
Purpose category, of found items	The category set by you, else by the catalogue	The largest; the rest as Other
Review status	Needs review, Confirmed, Ignored	Every group

Form version needs a form under Limit to. Partner needs a purpose.
Purposes have no Other, because a record counts once under each purpose it was offered.
A group with no value is shown as Not resolved for country and region, None for law, Not recorded for language and Unclassified for found items.

Charts#

Chart	Shows	Groups	Narrowest
Number	One figure. Over the period it adds the change and a small line	None	Quarter
Line	Change over time	4 lines, up to 6	Third
Area chart	One figure over time	None	Third
Columns	Over time, groups side by side	Up to 3	Third
Stacked columns	Over time, groups stacked	5, up to 6	Third
100% stacked columns	Over time, each column as shares of the whole	5, up to 6	Third
Horizontal bars	One bar per group	8, up to 20	Third
Stacked bar	One bar split into its parts	5, up to 6	Third
Donut	Parts of a whole	Up to 5, the rest as Other	Third
Heatmap	Two breakdowns as rows and columns	8, up to 12 each way	Half
Funnel	From view to full grant, step by step	Three steps	Third
Table	The figures in rows	10 rows, up to 50	Third
List	Latest records or Request queue	5, 10 or 20 rows	Third

Which charts a measure can use#

Measure	Without a breakdown	With a breakdown
A count over the period	Number, Line, Area chart, Columns, Table	Line, Columns, Stacked columns, 100% stacked columns, Horizontal bars, Stacked bar, Donut, Heatmap, Table
A rate, an average or a difference over the period	Number, Line, Columns, Table	Line, Horizontal bars, Heatmap, Table
A count of records as they stand	Number	Horizontal bars, Stacked bar, Donut, Heatmap, Table
A rate of records as they stand	Number	Horizontal bars, Heatmap, Table

"As they stand" covers the measures with the window Now or Next 30 days. It also covers five measures counted by what each record is today: Full-grant rate, Answered records, Waiting for confirmation, Allowed by purpose and Records without a country.

Exceptions:

Grants expiring by week is Columns or Table. From view to full grant is a Funnel. Latest records and Request queue are Lists.
A heatmap needs a second breakdown from the same measure. It is not offered by Answer, What they did or Partner.
For the same reason, Past the deadline, Due within 5 days, Average days to close, Closed within the deadline and Needs review have no heatmap.
Views without an answer has no heatmap.
By Request status, Columns are not offered: it has more groups than grouped columns can show.

In the builder, a chart type that is not offered says why when you point at it or move to it with the arrow keys.

Periods, buckets and small samples#

Rule	Value
Period	7 days, 30 days, 90 days: today and the days before it, in UTC. 12 months: this month and the 11 before it
Custom…	Up to 365 days, from 2020 to today
Compare with the previous period	As many days just before the period. While the period includes today, today is left out of both sides. 12 months compares with the same days a year earlier
Time buckets, Automatic	By day up to 62 days, by week up to 185 days, by month beyond. Weeks start on Monday
More buckets than a chart can draw	The chart moves to weeks or months and says Shown by week to fit
Small sample	A rate out of fewer than 30 is drawn as an outline and says it can swing widely
Fewer than 10	Full-grant rate, Full-grant rate, as answered, Allowed by purpose, Records without a country and the two Pressed shares show no rate and no counts, and say so, for example Fewer than 10 records
Rates across groups	Worked out again from the counts. A total or an Other is never an average of rates. A total counts only the time buckets, groups and cells that have a rate, so answers in one without banner views add nothing to Answer rate

Defaults and limits lists the limits on dashboards and chart queries.

What is not offered#

No query language, formula or SQL. A chart is a measure, a breakdown and a chart type from this page.
No chart over time for a figure counted by what each record is today. The builder says Counted as records stand today, so it has no history and offers Full-grant rate, as answered instead.
No pie, gauge, 3D chart or second axis.
Nothing about one person. Charts never read identifiers, page addresses, browser details or the data your site attached to a record.
No dashboard shared with other people. See Customise your dashboard.
