Widget: Bar chart
The Bar chart widget shows the metrics of a report over time as bars. It works well for comparing several metrics day by day.

What the report needs
A saved report with at least one metric and either no groupings or exactly one time grouping (10 minutes, hour, day and so on).
Views
The widget has several views. Switch the view in the widget header while the dashboard is in edit mode; the choice is saved with the dashboard.
Grouped
Bars of each metric side by side for every time step.
Stacked
Metrics stacked into one bar per time step, with the total in the tooltip.

How to add the widget
- Open Tracker → Dashboard, open the dashboard list and click the pencil icon next to your dashboard to enter edit mode.
- Click Add Widget and choose Bar chart in Display type.
- Pick a report in Select saved report. The list shows only reports that fit this display type. If it is empty, create a report in Tracker → Reports first.
- Set the optional title, width and height and the time step, then click Save.
- Click Save on the dashboard toolbar to keep the changes.
Settings
- Time step — 10 minutes, hour or day. You can also switch it in the widget header.
Period
The widget shows data for the period saved in its report; the caption under the title shows the dates. When you change the dates in the dashboard date selector, all widgets switch to the dashboard period.
Tips
- Use Grouped for metrics of a similar scale. Metrics of very different scale are easier to read on separate widgets.
- The legend above the chart shows the color of each metric.
The ? button in the widget header opens this help article. The Adset AI button next to it opens the assistant with the widget context and ready-made questions about its data.
