​
1.2 Use Cases

1.3 Basic Requirements

​
2. Steps

​
2.1 Select the Component and Configure the Dataset

Add a dataset.

​
2.2 Select the Chart Display Fields (Metric and Secondary Metric)

Metric: The total value of the data. Supports aggregation. Secondary metric: Optional. Supports aggregation. Select a field directly from the dataset, or generate one using a formula. For details, see Report formulas. Select data.

​
2.2.1 Secondary Metric

The secondary metric works the same way as the year-over-year field in the 2.0 report Metrics card. It shows the trend of a specific metric value. For example, to compare the number of submissions today with yesterday, configure it as follows:
  • Set the metric field to the count, and set the secondary metric to the date field in the form.
  • Set a filter condition to display only today’s data.
  • Configure the time offset. Choose an offset that matches your scenario.
  • In the metric settings, select the date field of the secondary metric. For the displayed value, choose Percentage difference, Original value, or Absolute difference.
  • Final comparison.
Note: Only one of the metric field and the secondary metric can have a time offset. Setting both triggers an error, as shown below:

Metrics card size and Font Size.
  • Columns per row: The number of fields displayed in a single row. The default is 4 and is adjustable.
Example: Three fields are selected as metrics on the Data page. In the style settings, Columns per row is set to 2, so two fields appear in the first row and the third field wraps to the second row, as shown below: Columns per row effect.
  • Maximum height: Adjusts the overall height of the Metrics card.
  • Tooltip position: The tooltip appears only after the field’s metric settings are configured, as shown below:
