Graphical view

The graphical view presents a bar chart of your chosen distribution type.

  • The vertical axis indicates the number of items.
  • The horizontal axis displays each value associated with the chosen distribution type. When you hover over a given value, the legend above the
    chart displays the exact number of items held in that value.

Overlay

You can apply an overlay to gain further insight in the graphical view. When applied, the bar chart is overlaid with one to three different shades of green and the legend displays how each color is defined (e.g., if you select RECORDED USES, dark green = 1 use, medium green = 2 uses, and light green = 3+ uses).

Select one of the following overlays from the Overlay drop-down menu.
