Create a Chart in Fibery Reports
Create a Report, choose Chart, select the source database and map fields to the axes. Inspect the underlying data before interpreting an aggregate.
Before you start: Have a Feature database with State and records you can verify. Check the plan’s sharing and historical-report limits; this example uses current data.
Worked example: For a backlog review, chart the count of Features in each state. Three Next, two In progress and one Done should produce groups of 3, 2 and 1.
Step-by-step guide
Create the Report
Use + beside the Space, choose View → Report and select Chart. Choose Current data and Feature as the database, then Create.
Choose a simple chart type
Use a bar chart for the state comparison. Avoid a time-series layout when the question has no time axis.
Map and aggregate
Drag State into the x-axis box. Drag a per-record field such as Name into the y-axis box and choose Count in that parameter’s aggregation settings. Check the expected sample groups are 3, 2 and 1; do not sum an effort field when the question is record count.
Inspect the source
Open Chart data near Filter and compare the sample records with the expected groups. Check that source filters did not omit a state.
Finish with a clear label
Name the chart Current Feature count by state and click Finish. Check its last-updated message before a meeting if underlying work recently changed.
Common mistakes
Treating related records as automatically joined
Reports use fields on the source database. Add an appropriate lookup first if a needed parent attribute is absent.
