Chart Types and Color

Three changes to how the dashboard draws data.

Bars that stack

A bar chart now stacks when its data carries a second dimension. If you are looking at volume by location and the data also splits by status, each bar shows that breakdown inside it.

Before, the second dimension was simply lost. You saw the total and had to open a different report to find out what it was made of.

One chart per measure

A report that tracks several measures at once used to force all of them into a single chart. Measures on different scales made that chart unreadable, since a value in the thousands flattens a value in the dozens into a line along the bottom.

Those now fan out into one chart per measure, each scaled to its own data.

Fixed colors for opt-in and opt-out

Opt-in is drawn in sky and opt-out in amber, everywhere either one appears.

These two values show up across many charts and tables, and the color used to depend on where the value happened to land in the list. The same status could be one color in one chart and a different color in the chart beside it, which is actively misleading when someone is scanning a dashboard rather than reading it closely.
