Chart
Explore using chart record insights to visualize key data across various pages so your members can quickly grasp trends and activities within different domains.
Charts provide an accessible snapshot of key data to help your members get a sense of where things are and where they're headed. A charts record insight is the perfect way to encapsulate recent attendance totals for Groups or recent Household giving. As with all things record insights, the sky's the limit, so get creative. And don't forget to show your work in the MinistryPlatform Community to show off that creativity!
- The following pages include these chart record insights:
- Contacts Page: Contacts recent activity by month.
- Households Page: Household recent activity by month.
- Participants Page: Participant recent activity by month.
- Groups Page: Group recent attendance totals.
- Events Page: Event registration by registration date.
- Donors Page: Donor giving history.
- Pledge Campaign Page: Pledge Campaign history.
- The chart record insight is based on a sub-page view, so think strategically about where the data you want in your view is and where you can build a view that puts the information into one row per data point. For example, for the Group Attendance record insight, the sub-page view is on the Rooms & Groups tab of the Group record. Tip: Build your view before configuring your insight.
- Hover over a section of the chart to display the data point.
