• Pie chart allowing to display up to 5 levels of hierarchy on a dimension.
  
• The size of each sector represents the indicated measure.
  
• A drill (descending / ascending) is possible on each level.
• Possibility to use the functionality of linked elements on this graph (only on the last drill level).

• Dimension 1 : Dimension for the first level disc
• Dimension 2 to 5 : [Optional] Dimension for the second to fifth level disc

• Measure 1 : Measure for the sector size

• Color of level 1: [Optional] Specific color for the dimension value of the dimension 1 (in RGB format - ex. “#F546A3”)
• …
• Color of level 5: [Optional] Specific color for the dimension value of the dimension 5 (in RGB format - ex. “#F546A3”)
• WARNING : due to a restriction in Webi, only one level color can be used at a time (out of 5)

• Display the tooltip when you move the mouse over the slices of the pie.
• When clicking on a slice, you drill on this level (centered on the selected value). To go back to the previous level, click on the “Back” button upper right of the chart. You can also go back to previous level by clicking on the center of the sunburst.

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.
