Sunburst Chart

Sunburst Description:

  • Sunburst displays a tree-like hierarchy of items layered in a circular arrangement, each of which proportionally represents the aggregate metric at each level of the hierarchy. The layers from inner to outer represent each level of the hierarchy. Larger groups are displayed from the 12 o’clock position clockwise.

  • Field 1... - Group - This field represents the hierarchical levels which structure the sunburst.

  • Field 2+ - Metric - This field will represent the value on the chart. The metric currently being displayed is selectable from a dropdown.

General Field Definitions:

  • Group - This column can be any data type, aggregated or not aggregated. These columns are used to group data in other columns, and often serve as the axis or scale of a particular visualization.

  • Metric - This column can be any data type. It is generally an aggregate, and most commonly a numeric, but does not have to be. These columns are the elements that are being charted, mapped, or displayed on your visualization.
