Visualizations

A visualization is a single chart, table, or KPI card built from a connected dataset. You can add visualizations to any dashboard, or explore them standalone in the Visualizations section of the sidebar.

Chart types

Vizdom supports the following chart types:

Type	Best used for
Bar	Comparing values across categories
Line	Showing trends over time
Area	Emphasizing cumulative totals over time
Scatter	Exploring correlations between two numeric fields
Pie / Donut	Showing part-to-whole relationships
Table	Displaying raw or summarized data in rows and columns
Number / KPI card	Highlighting a single key metric
Heatmap	Visualizing density or intensity across two dimensions
Geo Map	Plotting geographic data on an interactive map

Creating a visualization

Open the visualization builder

In the sidebar, click Visualizations, then click New Visualization.

Pick a dataset

Select a connected data source and choose a table or write a custom SQL query. Click Run to preview the results.

Choose a chart type

Select a chart type from the panel on the right. Vizdom highlights recommended types based on the shape of your data.

Configure axes and dimensions

Map your dataset columns to the chart’s fields — for example, assign a date column to the X axis and a revenue column to the Y axis.

Save your visualization

Click Save, give your visualization a name, and optionally add it to a dashboard right away.

Formatting options

In the Format panel (right side of the builder), you can customize:

Colors — choose a single color or apply a color palette to series.
Labels — toggle data labels on or off, and choose their position (inside, outside, top, bottom).
Legend — show or hide the legend, and control its position (top, bottom, left, right).
Tooltips — configure what appears when a viewer hovers over a data point, including custom field aliases.
Axes — set axis titles, min/max values, and number formatting (currency, percentage, decimal places).

Configuration examples

Bar chart
Line chart
Table

In the Data panel, assign:

X axis — a categorical field (e.g., product_category)
Y axis — a numeric field (e.g., total_revenue)
Group by (optional) — a second categorical field to produce grouped or stacked bars

In the Format panel, use Bar style to switch between grouped and stacked layouts. Enable Sort bars to order them by value descending.

SELECT product_category, SUM(revenue) AS total_revenue
FROM orders
GROUP BY product_category
ORDER BY total_revenue DESC

In the Data panel, assign:

X axis — a date or timestamp field (e.g., created_at)
Y axis — one or more numeric fields (e.g., signups, churned)
Date truncation — choose the granularity: day, week, month, quarter, year

In the Format panel, toggle Smooth curves for a spline rendering and enable Show points to mark individual data values.

SELECT DATE_TRUNC('month', created_at) AS month,
       COUNT(*) AS signups
FROM users
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1

In the Data panel, choose the columns to display and set their order by dragging rows in the column list. You can rename columns using the Alias field.In the Format panel:

Pagination — set the number of rows per page (10, 25, 50, 100).
Column widths — set to auto or enter fixed pixel widths.
Totals row — enable to show a sum or average at the bottom of numeric columns.

SELECT user_id, name, email, plan, created_at
FROM users
WHERE status = 'active'
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 500

Conditional formatting

Use conditional formatting to highlight values that cross a threshold, making outliers immediately visible. To add a rule:

Open the Format panel and scroll to Conditional Formatting.
Click Add Rule.
Choose the target field, a condition (greater than, less than, equal to, between), and a threshold value.
Set the highlight color for cells or data points that match the condition.

You can stack multiple rules on a single field. Rules are evaluated top-to-bottom and the first match wins.

Drill-down and linked dashboards

Any visualization can link to another dashboard, letting viewers click a data point to open a related view. To set up a drill-down:

Open the visualization in edit mode.
In the Interactions panel, select Drill down to dashboard.
Choose the target dashboard and optionally map a field from the current chart to a filter on the target dashboard.

When a viewer clicks a bar, point, or row, Vizdom opens the target dashboard with that filter pre-applied.

Dashboards

Arrange your visualizations into shareable dashboards.
