Creating Sparkline Charts

HRWize analytics add-on feature gives you the ability to create reports.

A 'Sparkline' chart is intended to provide a visual representation of data but without axes or coordinates, legends, etc. Sparkline charts are intended to be succinct, memorable, and ideally presented close to where supporting data is available, such as an HRWize dashboard.

Sparkline charts are best suited to line and column charts. In this example, we have created a Line chart that has labelled axes, a trend line, and you can hover over a data point to see additional information:
