Donut Chart by Vitara

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
A donut chart is essentially a Pie Chart with an area of the center cut out.
However, Donut Charts have a slight advantage over Pie Charts, which are sometimes criticized for focusing on relative sizes of the pieces to one another and to the chart as a whole, giving no indication of changes as a whole when compared to other Pie Charts.
A Donut Chart partly addresses this problem by de-emphasising the use of area, to make the viewer focus more on the changes in overall values. You are focused on reading the length of the arcs, rather then comparing the proportions between slices.
Also Donut Charts can take up less space then Pie Charts by having their centers used to display information within their blank centers.
VitaraCharts Donut can be used to not only display a single KPI but add several other KPIS to the tool-tip section. Also, the Play axis is available to show the variation of the Donut across over time .

Requirements:

• 1 attribute ( used in slice by )
• 1 metric  (for Donut slices )

NOTE: Time attribute ( Optional for Play Axis) and additional Metrics can be added to Tooltips as shown in screenshot.
