Intro

In the Analyzer view for a KPI card (sometimes called the "Card Builder" or "Edit" view), you customize the appearance of your charts and apply DataSet columns to a chart. You can also apply and edit filters, chart properties, sorts, chart name and description, as well as view and manipulate the data table for the chart.

The Analyzer appears as part of the workflow for creating a KPI card. For more information, see KPI Card Building Part 1: Adding a KPI Card to a Page.

For a high-level overview of the Analyzer, see Analyzer Overview.

Analyzer Interface

The following screenshot shows the Analyzer as it might appear for a typical Stacked Bar chart. For more information, see KPI Card Building Part 2: The Analyzer.

You can learn more about these components in the following table:

Name

Description

Data pane

Provides access to data configuration options for the chart, including the following:

DataSet picker. Lets you change the DataSet powering this chart.
Column filter. Lets you quickly locate specific columns (dimensions and measures) in the DataSet to use in this chart. If you have created calculated columns for this chart using Beast Mode, you can use the filter to find those columns also.
Available columns. Shows the columns from this DataSet that you can apply to your chart. These are divided into Measures (columns that contain items with a "value" data type) and Dimensions (columns that contain items with "string," "date," and "date-time" data types). If you have created calculated columns for this chart using Beast Mode, those columns appear here. You apply columns to your chart by dragging and dropping them from this area into the column fields above the chart preview area.

If the column names are too long to fit, you can expand the pane by clicking and dragging on the border of the right side of the pane.

For more information about data types, see Understanding Chart Data. For more information about applying columns to a chart, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart.

Name/description fields

Lets you change the name/description of the KPI card that contains this chart (the name of the powering DataSet is used by default). This is the name and description that appears at the top of the KPI card in the page(s). For more information about naming a KPI card, see Editing the Name or Description of a KPI Card.

Filters pane

Lets you apply filters to filter the data in columns in your chart. For more information, see Adding Filters to Your Chart.

Sorting pane

Lets you apply sorts to sort the items in a given column. For more information, see Sorting the Data in Your Chart.

Toolbar

Provides access to buttons that let you show or hide various tools in the Analyzer interface. You can show or hide the Toolbar itself using the ^ button near the top center of the Analyzer window.

The buttons in the Toolbar include all of the following:

Button	Description
Data	Shows/hides the Data pane for this chart. For more information about the options available in this pane, see the row for "Data pane" at the top of this table.
Lineage	Opens a window showing the lineage of DataSets feeding into the DataSet that powers this chart. For more information, see Viewing the Lineage of a DataSet in Analyzer.
Filters	Shows/hides the Filters pane for this chart.
Sorting	Shows/hides the Sorting pane for this chart.

Users viewing the card Details view can then quickly enable or disable filters for the card just by toggling the desired filters in the pane. For more information, see Adding Filters to Your Chart - Applying Quick Filters.
Summary	Shows/hides the summary number and its associated dropdown menu for this chart. The summary number for a chart summarizes its data. Click the dropdown arrow to open an options menu for configuring the summary number. For more information, see Configuring Your Chart Summary Number.

Column fields

Provide the means for applying DataSet columns to your chart. To apply columns, you drag them from the available columns region on the left side of the Analyzer into the appropriate fields in this area. These fields differ between chart types. For example, for a standard vertical Bar chart, X Axis and Y Axis fields would appear. You would drag a value column into the Y Axis field and a category column into the X Axis field. Your chart preview would then update to show how the chart would look with these columns applied. For more information, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart.

Auto preview toggle

Lets you turn off automatic updating of the chart preview when changes are made, which could provide a faster editing experience, especially for very large cards.

Summary number

Summarizes the data in the chart. Click the dropdown arrow to open an options menu for configuring the summary number. For more information, see Configuring Your Chart Summary Number.

Invite button

Lets you share this card with specified team members and invite them to join Domo, all in a single action. If you do not have share access for this card, the button only allows you to invite users, not share the card. For more information, see Inviting Others to Join Domo.

Date filter menu

Lets you choose a date range and grain for the data in this chart. If you have selected a Period-over-Period chart type, you can find options for configuring your chart here. For more information, see Adding Filters to Your Chart and Period-over-Period Charts.

Save button

Lets you save changes you have made to this KPI card.

Clicking Save simply saves changes made to the card. If you click the dropdown arrow to the right of the Save button, a few more options are available, as follows:

Save As. Lets you save your changes as a new card. When you choose this option you are prompted to enter a title and description as well as select the page where the new card should reside.
Save And Comment. Lets you enter a comment about your changes when you save. Your comment is viewable with the revision in the History view of the Details view for this KPI card.
Save and Close. Saves your changes and closes the Analyzer, returning you to the Details view for the card.

If you choose Save As or Save and Comment for a card that does not have an alert set on the summary number, you are prompted to set an alert on it now. For more information about setting alerts, see Creating a Custom Alert for a KPI Card.

Buzz icon

Toggles Buzz on/off for this card. By default, Buzz closes when you open the Analyzer for a card. For more information about Buzz, see Buzz.

Beast Mode button

Lets you transform the data in your chart by creating new columns based on existing columns. For more information, see Transforming Data Using Beast Mode.

Data table

Shows you the table of all of the data being used in this chart. This table provides various options for manipulating the data; for example, you can filter rows, apply filters, change aggregations, etc. Any changes you make to the data in the data table are reflected in the chart preview. For more information, see Understanding the Data Table in Analyzer.

Chart Properties

Displays Chart Properties available for this chart. You can edit various properties of the chart, such as number and date formatting, the number of value scale divisions, scale labels, and so on. For more information about setting chart properties, see Chart Properties.

Chart preview

Shows a preview of your chart. Appears only when all required columns have been applied. You can expand the chart preview pane by clicking and dragging any of the borders on the left, right, or bottom. For more information, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart.

Data table options

Provides additional options for working with the data table, including showing and hiding columns, showing totals, showing raw data or data as it appears in the chart, and opening a full-screen mode. For more information, see Understanding the Data Table in Analyzer.
