The chart configuration in Tellius is designed to be intuitive and flexible, allowing you to easily customize data visualizations to fit your specific needs.
Here's a brief description of prominent fields found in the Configuration pane:
Measure: This field is for the numerical data you want to analyze, like sales or revenue. It defines the basis of your chart's quantitative analysis. Example: Profit, Revenue, Quantity
Dimension: Dimensions are the categories you're measuring by, such as time periods, regions, or product categories. They provide context for the measures. Example: Category, Market, Country
Color By: Assign colors to different segments of your data, such as regions or products, to visually distinguish and analyze patterns and trends. Example: If you select the column "Region" for Color By field, then the chart uses different colors to represent sales data from different geographical areas.
Sort By: Determines the order of data presentation in your chart, which can be ascending or descending, helping to prioritize or sequence data points. Example: If you select the column "Sales" (descending order) for Sort By field, then the chart prioritizes higher-selling items.
Tooltip: When hovering over elements of the chart, tooltips provide additional information like exact figures or related data, enhancing the detail available on demand. Example: If you select the column "Units sold" for Tooltip field, then the chart shows the exact number of units sold in tooltip when hovering over it.
Unused: Here, you can store columns that are currently not in use but might be needed for future reference or analysis because the chart type or other chart configurations changed.
Pagination (Enable/Disable Toggle): This controls whether your chart breaks data into pages or shows all data at once, useful for managing large data sets.
Show Rows (Number Field): Decide the number of rows to be considered for preparing the chart, focusing on a specified amount of data entries.
Include Nulls (Checkbox): This option includes or excludes null values from your data, allowing you to decide whether to consider or ignore incomplete data points. Example: In a product performance analysis, include nulls to see all products, even those without any sales.
Dual Axis (Checkbox): Enables you to plot two measures on the same chart with separate Y-axes, useful for comparing different types of data. Example: Display website traffic (first axis) alongside conversion rate (second axis) for a digital marketing analysis.
Show Query Time (Enable/Disable Toggle): Displays the time taken by Tellius and other external engines to execute the query.
