Pie Charts

Pie Charts in Buildaible allow you to visualize proportions and percentages in a clean and intuitive format. Use Pie Charts to see how categories compare against the whole—like task breakdowns, sales distribution, or resource allocation.

Follow this guide to create and configure Pie Charts in your Buildaible app.

  1. Access the Reports Page

    1. Open the app where you want to create the Pie Chart.

    4. From the pop-up, select “Pie Chart” as the report type and click Next.

  2. Configure Report Details
    In the Pie Chart Editor, start by filling in the report details:

    1. Report Name: Add a descriptive title for the chart (e.g., “Tasks by Status” or “Revenue by Region”).

    2. Report Tags (optional): Use tags to organize and filter your reports.

    3. Report Description (optional): Provide additional context about the report.

    The Pie Chart Series settings define the data displayed in the pie chart.

      1. Under “What Table?”, select the table containing the data you want to visualize.

        • Example: “Tasks” for task statuses or “Sales” for revenue distribution.

        • Example: Task Status (TODO, In Progress, Done) or Product Type.

      3. Grouping: Use the default Equal Values grouping to group data by identical values.

      4. Display Name (optional): Customize the display name for the series.

    2. Add Pie Chart Data (Add Series)
      To display summarized values in the pie chart:

      1. Under Pie Chart Data, click “+ Add Series.”

      2. In the Add Pie Chart Data pop-up:
        • Series Name/Label: Give the series a name (e.g., “Task Count” or “Total Revenue”).
        • Data to Display: Select the field whose values will be represented in the chart.
        • Summarize By: Choose how the values are calculated—Sum or Average.

      3. Click “Add Series” to save the series.

      Example Use Case:

      1. Group tasks by Status and display the number of tasks for each category.

      2. Group sales by Region and show the sum of revenue for each.
