Pie charts a la mode

June 19th, 2008

Here at TrackVia, we’ve been hard at work cooking up new ways for you to view your database content. We’ve been keenly aware that sometimes you need more than just the traditional report grid view to better analyze your data. So, recently we’ve released the “statistics” view, which allows you to see your data in aggregate ways, including bar graphs and pie charts for your database fields if their underlying data types support them.

If you have a drop-down field in your database, for example, the statistics page will render a pie chart of what percentage of rows in your report have each option selected. If your field is a checkbox type, you will see a bar graph instead. In addition to charting, there are other neat things like totals, mean, median, and other statistical information on your numeric fields, as well as a report on most frequent values that appear in the report for other database columns.

And, just like a regular report, you can adjust the data sample being summarized by tuning the filters and display options. Give it a spin and let us know what you think!
