Charts Add-on to Reports Module

Turn data into information. Charts are an excellent way to picturise a lot of data in a format that can quickly digest.

The improved ad-hoc report module has a charts add-on to help visualise reports relevant to any report templates you have created. The visible improvement we did to the reports is generating charts in popular chart types viz., line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts etc.

Line graphs are visually impressive that illustrate trends in fleet operational data over a while or of a particular correlation. For example, the graph’s Y-axis might represent fuel level or consumption (variable value), while the X-axis often displays a timeline. Examples of line, bar, column, and pie charts.

Bar or column charts can be used if you wish to compare data between fleets belonging to two different groups or to track changes over time.
