Properties for Miscellaneous Chart Types
Intro
Find out about chart properties available for charts in the "Other" category in Chart Picker, such as Radar graphs, Gantt charts, stock-type graphs, etc.
"General" Properties
The properties in the following table all relate to Calendars and are found in the General category in Chart Properties. For more information about Calendars, see Calendar.
|
Option |
Description |
Examples |
|---|---|---|
|
View |
Determines whether a calendar displays data for an entire year, for a month, or for a single day. Examples of each of these views are shown at right. If you select Auto (which is the default), the calendar determines the view based on the breadth of data in the DataSet. For example, if your DataSet contains data for more than one month, the year view displays automatically so all represented months can be shown. |
|
|
Dates From |
Determines whether the dates that appear in a calendar are to be determined automatically based on your DataSet (which is the default) or you plan to specify them manually using the Year, Selected Year, Month, and Day properties. For example, if the series of dates in your DataSet started with "01-06-2014" and you chose the "Day" view, then by default Domo would show the data for "01-06-2014" because it was the first value in the DataSet. If you wanted to show a different date, you could do so by selecting User Specified here and then specifying the date using the Year, Selected Year, Month, and Day properties. |

|
Year |
For a calendar, determines the year to be used when User Specified is selected for the Dates From property. Options include Current (which is the default), Previous, Next, and Specified. If you select Specified, you enter the specified year in the Selected Year field. This option is useful if your DataSet contains data for more than one year. |
— |
|
Selected Year |
For a calendar, lets you specify the year for your data when you have selected Dates From > User Specified and Year > Specified. This option is useful if your DataSet contains data for more than one year. |
— |
|
Month |
For a calendar, lets you specify the month for your data when you have selected Dates From > User Specified. Current is the default. |
— |
|
Day |
For a calendar, lets you specify the day of the month for your data when you have selected Dates From > User Specified. Current is the default. |
— |
|
First Day of Week |
For a calendar, lets you specify the first day of the week. The default is Sunday. |
— |
|
General > Background Fill |
Specifies the background fill color for a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph. If Default is selected, no background color is used. |

"Radar Settings" Properties
The properties in the following table are found in the Radar Settings category in Chart Properties.
|
Option |
Description |
Examples |
|---|---|---|
|
Series Transparency |
Determines the transparency for the fill areas in a Radar graph. You can specify any value between 0 and 100, where 0 means the fill areas are completely opaque and 100 means they have no fill at all. In the example, the transparency has been set to 20. |
|
"Theme" Properties
The properties in the following table are found in the Theme category in Chart Properties.
|
Option |
Description |
Examples |
|---|---|---|
|

— |
"Time Scale (X)" Properties
The properties in the following table are found in the Theme category in Chart Properties.
| Option | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
|
Show Label |
Hides or shows time scale labels in Gantt charts. Labels are shown by default. The example shows a Gantt Percent Complete chart in which time scales have been removed. |
|
"Value Options" Properties
The properties in the following table are found in the Theme category in Chart Properties.
|
Option |
Description |
||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Value Options > Hide |
Hides the summary value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph. (This is the first number that appears in the graph's built-in gauge.) |
||||||||||||||
|
Value Options > Value |
Indicates how a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph's summary value is derived. You can choose from any of the following options for this property:
|
||||||||||||||
|
Value Options > Size |
Specifies the size of the summary value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph. You can choose from Medium (default) or Small. |
||||||||||||||
|
Value Options > Value Format |
Determines the general number format for your Spark Line/Spark Bar graph's summary value. Options include Number (which includes no special formatting), Currency (in which a currency symbol is affixed), and Percentage (in which a percent symbol is affixed). |
||||||||||||||
|
Value Options > Divide Value By |
Refers to the number that the gauge value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar is to be divided by, if any. This option is useful when the value is very large and you want to abbreviate it by dividing by a common number. For example, if the gauge value represented millions of dollars, you could choose to divide by millions—the gauge value would then be reduced to more comprehendible single digits. When you choose to divide by Percentage, the gauge value is multiplied by 100. |
||||||||||||||
|
Value Options > Decimal Places |
Determines the number of decimal places used in the summary value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph. You can choose from Default, None, and options for numbers of decimal places (from ".0" to ".00000"). By default, Domo automatically determines the optimal number of decimal places for the gauge value. When you select None, the value is rounded to the nearest whole number. |
||||||||||||||
|
Value Options > Negative Numbers |
Determines the format for negative numbers in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph. If you select -100, negative values have a minus symbol affixed. If you select (100), negative values are enclosed in parentheses. |
"Change Value Options" Properties
The properties in the following table are found in the Change Value Options category in Chart Properties.
|
Option |
Description |
|
|---|---|---|
|
Change Value Options > Hide |
Hides the change value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph. (This is the second number that appears in the graph's built-in gauge. For example, in the screenshot of the graph at the top of this article, the value is -74.35%.) |
— |
|
Change Value Options > Value |
Specifies whether the change value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph is a percent change (default) or a difference in values. |
— |
|
Change Value Options > Data |
Specifies whether the change value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph is derived from the first and last values in the chart (default) or the last two values in the chart. |
— |
|
Change Value Options > Size |
Specifies the size of the change value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph. You can choose from Medium (default) or Small. |
— |
|
Change Value Size > Direction Indicator |
Specifies whether the symbol used to represent change in the change value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph is an arrow (default), a curved arrow, or a triangle. Examples of all three of these are shown at right. |
|
|
Change Values > Reverse Color Direction |
By default, if your change value in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph is positive, the value appears green; if it is negative, the value appears red. By setting the Reverse Color Direction property, you can switch this default behavior. This is useful for gauges in which low values are ideal (such as a gauge that keeps track of workplace accidents). |
— |
|
Change Value Options > Value Format |
Determines the general number format for your Spark Line or Spark Bar graph's change value. Options include Number (which includes no special formatting), Currency (in which a currency symbol is affixed), and Percentage (in which a percent symbol is affixed). Note: The Number and Currency options will not work unless you set Change Value Options > Value to Value Change.
|
— |
|
Change Value Options > Hover Format |

Options include Number (which includes no special formatting), Currency (in which a currency symbol is affixed), and Percentage (in which a percent symbol is affixed). |
— |
|
Change Value Options > Hover Decimal Places |
Determines the number of decimal places that appear in values in your Spark Line or Spark Bar graph's hovers (i.e. the text that appears when you mouse over a data point in the graph). |
— |
|
Change Value Options > Positive Color |
Specifies the color used in a Spark Line or Spark Bar graph when the degree of change in your graph is positive. |
— |
|
Change Value Options > Negative Color |
