Creating Bar or Column Charts

Overview

Create bar or column charts to visualise ticket statistics. This chart type is best used to show absolute figures which can be ticket counts, sums, mean average, etc. over values of ticket fields.

For example, visualise how many tickets are currently assigned to each project member. You can also use stacked bar charts to add one more dimension: e.g. number of tickets by assignee and status.

Plot Stacked Bars

While creating a bar/column chart, you can show different colours in a line; each colour representing a value. For example, you can use colors to show the tickets per assignee.

To do so: 

1. Select the Plot stacked bars for each value of checkbox
2. Select an attribute from the drop-down
   
3. The chart would then show different colours in the bar; each representing a single value of the attribute you selected
