Boxplot EChart
The box plot (or box and whisker plot) is a visualization tool used to display the distribution of data across select groups. A box plot shows you five key metrics of your data: the median, the quartiles, the minimum and maximum values, any outliers, and the interquartile range. The spread of your data between those values and the presence of any outliers is what box plots help you visualize.
The five key metrics that box plots help you visualize are described below.
The Median: The median is the data value that is at the very middle of your dataset. If you have an even dataset, it is the average of the two middle values. The median in a box plot is represented by the line across the inside of the box.
The Quartiles: A box plot displays both the lower quartile and the upper quartile. The lower quartile is the median of the first half of your dataset, as divided by your median. The upper quartile is the median of the second half of your dataset. The first quartile and the third quartile are the values that represent the 25th and the 75th percentile respectively. They are represented by the outer edges of the box.
The Minimum and Maximum: The minimum and maximum values represent the values that are 1.5x the interquartile range below and above the median respectively. The inter-quartile range is the range between the lower and the upper quartile, calculated by subtracting the latter from the former. The interquartile range is represented by the lines coming from the box and the minimum and maximum values are represented by the outermost lines.
The Outliers: Outliers are values that fall outside of the interquartile range. They are marked by symbols.
Create a Boxplot EChart
To create a Boxplot EChart in Wyn Enterprise, navigate to the dashboard designer page and follow the instructions below,
On the left-side menu, select the Custom Visualization icon to open the ECharts menu.
Find the Boxplot EChart from the menu and drag and drop it onto the dashboard designer.
Your initial Boxplot should look like the image below.
On the right-hand side, you will find that this action has opened the Data Binding tab. Select Add to select the data you want to bind to your EChart.
Upon selecting the data you want to use in the menu, drag and drop the values onto the binding slots for Values and Details and Distribution. You are going to want to drop your quantitative data into the Values slot and your categorical data into the Details slot. Your distribution size is going to be dropped into the Distribution slot.
In this case, I have created a simple example from a small dataset that shows the number of texts sent in a day by males vs. females. The data collected represents various samples. The ID of the sample is added to the Distribution slot.
Click Preview on the top ribbon.
Now you have your Boxplot EChart.
Format Data Attributes
You can perform various operations in a Boxplot EChart to format the data attributes and control data display. Use the settings icon in the Data Field containers to format data attributes. The following operations are included in the Boxplot EChart scenario;
Aggregation Method: Use the Aggregation Method option to display a summarized value by aggregating multiple values of a data attribute. Aggregation Method supports Sum, Average, Max, Min, Count, and Distinct Count methods. See the Aggregation Method help article for more information.
Quick Functions: Use the Quick Functions option to highlight key indicators in your chart scenario by applying powerful calculations on measures. Quick Functions in Wyn Enterprise support Date Based Functions, Ranking Calculation, Percentile Calculation, Running Calculation, Moving Calculation, and Original Value. See the Quick Functions help article for more information.
Filter: Use the Filter option to display relevant data in your chart scenario. See the Filter Data help article for more information.
Rename: Use the Rename option to change the name of a data attribute to make it comprehensible and meaningful. See the Rename a Data Attribute help article for more information.
Remove: Use the Remove option to remove a data attribute from the chart scenario.
Tooltip Setting: Use the tooltip setting to customize the tooltips. You can customize the background image, color, and font style, add new data fields, modify the data fields, and modify expressions for data binding.
Analyze Data
Wyn dashboard scenarios support rich data analysis and exploration capabilities to help you analyze massive amounts of information and make data-driven decisions. The following analysis operations are available in the Action Bar corresponding to each scenario in the designer;
Filter: To filter out relevant data in your chart scenario. See the Filter Data help article, for information on using the filter options in a dashboard scenario.
Sort: To arrange the chart data in a more meaningful order. See the Sort help article for information on using the sort options in a dashboard scenario.
Conditional Visualization: To filter, compare, and rant the data in a dashboard scenario. See the Conditional Visualization help article for information on using various visualization options.
Data Binding: To modify the data binding of the dashboard scenario with new attributes use the Data Binding option. See the Modify Data Binding help article for more information.
Reference Line: To add a static line as a reference line on the chart use the Reference Line option. See the Reference Line help article for information on using various formatting options.
