Why use Interactive List View Charts

This article will explain why this feature is a benefit to your organization.

SmartSimple empowers you to create dynamic and impactful charts directly from your current list view without needing to use Report Builder. This feature provides the ability to see the data as tables or charts as well as being able to drill down into the data for a more granular view.

List View Charts instantly aggregate your data into easy-to-understand, vibrant charts. This flexible new feature requires next to no effort to use, maintaining the current columns and filtering the information you want to share directly from your list view. There’s no need to re-input any details. in the GMS space you could see grants aggregated by status represented in a chart, then drill into the charts to see grants of a specific status aggregated by type, then flip the view to table and go directly into a specific grant. You can also download the charts in PNG, JPG, PDF or SVG. Seven descriptive and colorful chart types are available to display your data in a meaningful way.

Note: This feature is available in the Arcadia X interface only; List View Charts cannot be created from the Classic interface.

Configuring Interactive List View Charts

Visualize your data with interactive charts. Chart by Status,Type or a value of your choice. Toggle between the chart view and the table view. Drill into the charts to see the data further delineated. Go directly into the object from the table view. Print charts or export them in multiple formats.

This feature is available in Arcadia X, it only takes a few seconds to setup and you don’t need to create a report.
