Quick Charts Overview

Quick Charts let you instantly visualize your data.

Doowii makes it easy and quick to access and understand your data. Creating charts and visualizations is just as easy with Doowii's Quick Charts.

Where to Find the Quick Chart Icons

After you run a query, Quick Chart icons appear at the top of the result panel, just above your data. If the data support the visualization, these icons let you toggle between:

• Table view

• Bar chart

• Line chart

• Pie chart

• Donut chart

• Scatterplot

• Bubble chart

In some cases, the data returned does not support a particular data visualization (for instance, a scatterplot requires two columns of numerical data), and the icon will be grayed out. Click any active icon to switch the view instantly.

Overview of Quick Chart types

1. Bar Chart: Compare values across categories. Best for showing differences between groups (e.g., number of students by school).

2. Line Chart: Track trends over time. Ideal for continuous data like enrollment over terms or assessment scores by week.

3. Pie Chart: Visualize parts of a whole. Great for showing proportional breakdowns like percentage of students by program.

4. Donut Chart: A variation of the pie chart with a hollow center. Use it when you want similar insights with a cleaner look.

5. Scatterplot: Reveal relationships between two numeric variables (e.g., study time vs. GPA). Helpful for spotting correlations.

6. Bubble Chart: Like a scatterplot but with bubble size representing a third variable. Useful for showing relationships with additional context (e.g., students by GPA, attendance, and credit load).

Quick Charts are meant for fast insight, based on an analysis of the data columns available and which could be included. If the chart doesn't meet your expectations, or if you want more control, open the advanced builder.

When to Switch to the Advanced Chart Builder

Use the Advanced Chart Builder when you want to:

• Choose your own category, series, or breakdown fields

• Apply filters or change aggregations (sum, avg, etc.)

• Use a chart type not available in Quick Charts

• Customize the appearance (titles, colors, axes, tooltips, etc.)

Quick Charts are a starting point. If the visual isn’t telling the story you need, or if you want to refine it, the Chart Builder gives you full control.
