We have some exciting news: this week we’re releasing two new types of widgets: Charts and Big Numbers.

Charts are one of our most-requested features of all-time, so we’re incredibly exciting to be bringing this feature to the Stacker Community.

‍

What are Stacker Charts?

Stacker Charts is a new widget-type that allows you to add donut, bar and line charts to your apps. Each widget can hold up to three charts of any, or all, types and can be placed on your Detail Layouts or Custom Pages.

Bar charts also bring the ability to group by multiple fields: for example using Stacker’s bar charts you could display sales by month and by product category.

Line charts allow you to display data over time, thanks to a new bucketing feature that allows you to group records into days, weeks, months, quarters and years.

Some examples of how you can use Stacker Charts:

Visualize sales growth over the past year using a line chart, revealing peaks and troughs in revenue.
Compare user engagement across different features of your app using a bar chart grouped by feature names.
Display the proportion of completed tasks versus pending tasks using an interactive donut chart.

We are working to bring Charts widgets to List Layouts and hope to release this in the next few weeks.

What are Big Number widgets?

Big Number widgets allow you to display summaries of your data: either a record count, or the sum or average of a particular field.

Like Charts, Big Numbers are part of the Stacker widget eco-system, so they can be placed anywhere on Detail Layouts or Custom Pages. We are working to bring Big Number widgets to List Layouts and hope to release this in the next few weeks.
