Graphs

Graphs let you build charts from your event data. You choose the chart type, what to measure, and the colours — EDGR pulls the data and draws it. Saved graphs can be added to your dashboard as a widget, and the data is always live against whatever time range you’re viewing.

1. Choose a chart type

The chart type determines the shape of the visualisation and what question it’s answering:

Chart type	Best for asking
Bar (over time)	How many events happened per day, week, or month?
Line or area	Is this trending up or down over time?
Pie or donut	What proportion does each type contribute?
Total by type (bar)	Across the full range, which event type happened most?

See Graph examples for rendered examples of each type.

2. Add series

Each chart is made of one or more series: a named, coloured line, bar, or slice. For each series you pick:

Event type: which event type to count, or leave empty for all events
Colour: the bar fill, line colour, or pie segment colour
Label: shown in the legend

Bar and line charts support multiple series, so you can compare event types side by side. Pie charts show one slice per series.

3. Set granularity

Granularity controls how finely data is grouped — how much time each bar or point represents:

Daily: one point per day
Weekly: one point per week
Monthly: one point per month
Hourly: one point per hour (max 24-hour range)

Hourly granularity has a maximum range of 24 hours. If you switch to hourly, the range picker enforces this limit. Switch to daily granularity to view a wider range.

The time range itself is not saved inside the graph — it’s set by the context (dashboard time range or the range picker on the graph viewer page). The same graph can show different data depending on where you view it.

4. Choose a layout

For bar and line charts with multiple series, you can control how they’re arranged:

Overlap: series are drawn on the same axis, layered over each other
Stacked: series are stacked so you can see both the individual values and the total
100% stacked: rescales everything so bars always add up to 100%, showing proportion rather than raw count
Grouped: side-by-side bars per time period (bar charts only)

5. Set display options

Cumulative: shows a running total instead of counts per period. Instead of “how many this week”, it shows “how many total so far”.
From total: when cumulative is on, starts the running count from your all-time total before the selected range rather than from zero. Useful for a number that should just keep climbing.
Fit y-axis: zooms the y-axis in to the range your data actually occupies, rather than always starting at zero. Most useful on cumulative charts where values start high and the daily movement is small.
Show average: draws a dashed average line across the chart.

Saving and using graphs

Go to Graphs and tap New graph
Configure the chart type, series, and display options
The preview updates live as you make changes
Tap Save to store the graph in your library

The graph can then be added to any dashboard as a Graph widget.

Accounts can have up to 5 saved graphs. Delete an old graph to free up a slot. See Limits.

When you add a graph as a dashboard widget, you can change individual series colours in the card's settings panel without touching the underlying graph. Useful if the same graph appears on multiple dashboards.

Things worth knowing

Total by type shows the full range, not individual periods. The total count chart shows overall totals per event type across the entire selected range — there’s no day-by-day breakdown. Use “Bar (over time)” for that.

Pie charts are single-series per slice. One series per slice of the pie. Use “Total by type” to compare across event types in a bar format.
