Multi Chart

This is the N4V FOR WEBI Wiki page for the Multi Chart widget.

Updated for N4V 2025.3.4

• Visualization of 1 to 2 dimensions that can render as Lines (standard Lines, Polar lines) Areas (standard Area, Stacked Areas, Percentage Stacked Area, Polar areas, Polar stacked areas), Columns (standard Column, Stacked Columns, Percentage Stacked Columns, Polar columns, Polar stacked columns), Bars (standard Bars, Stacked Bars, Percentage Stacked Bars, Polar Bars) depending on the chart type chosen.
  
• Select 1 dimension and up to 10 measures or 2 dimensions and 1 measure.
• Possibility to use the functionality of linked elements on this graph.

• Dimension 1 : Dimension 1
• Dimension 2 : [Optional] dimension 2

• Measure 1 : Measure 1
• Measure 2 : [Optional] measure 2
• …
• Measure 8 : [Optional] measure 8
• Measure 9 : [Optional] measure 9
• Measure 10 : [Optional] measure 10

• Colors: [Optional] Specific color for the dimension value of the dimension 1 (in RGB format - ex. “#F546A3”)

• Display the tooltip(s) when you move the mouse over the points of the chart.
• You can change dynamically the appearance of the chart by selecting the type of chart in the list box at the upper left.
• If break is defined on the main Y-Axis, fly over the columns to unfold the chart.

Use the Webi native element link function to make this graph interact with other elements of the same report (native Webi tables / graphs and / or Need4Viz graphs). Element binding can be defined on all objects or individually on one of the dimensions of the graph.

You can find instructions for accessing settings for Need4Viz graphics: Format Custom Element.

• Selection → See the user guide for the “Selection” section here

• Controls → See the user guide for the “Selection” section here
