Charts provide a way to visualize
Smartsheet data in real time, and can be
added to any dashboard. Use pie and donut
charts to represent proportions and
percentages. Bar charts and column chart
types work well for comparisons. Line
chart types help show trends or the rate
of change over time. Let's take a look at
how to use charts to identify trends in
our sales pipeline based on the data our
reps are tracking. To add a chart to your
dashboard click on the "add widget" button
and select the chart widget. Next, select
the sheet that you'd like to include and
highlight the data you'd like to chart.
Smartsheet will recommend the best chart
type for your data, but you can change
the chart type at any time.
Customize your chart by adding titles,
formatting text, and choosing where or if
to display a legend. To change colors or
add data labels, go to "series," select the
data, and choose the color. Drag the lower
right-hand corner of any chart to resize
it. And that's how you can use charts to
visualize Smartsheet data in real time.
