Sunburst

The Sunburst widget is similar to a pie chart but is multi-dimensional. Whereas a pie chart combines one field and one numeric value, the Sunburst widget can display multiple rings, one for each field. Each ring in the Sunburst shows a breakdown of its parent ring slice.

Adding Data

1. In the Categories panel, select the fields whose values will be represented as slices of the ring.
   Typically, the Categories of a Sunburst widget contain descriptive data. Multiple fields can be added, so that each field is represented as a ring whose values are broken up by its parent ring slice. You can reorder the fields using drag and drop.
2. In the Values panel, click Add + to select the field whose values determine the size of the ring. Values are typically used to represent numeric data. You can only add one field.

Designing the Sunburst Widget

Fine-tune the appearance of the Sunburst widget using the following tools:

Center	Select which info is presented in the center of the Sunburst widget when hovering over a ring slice: Value – Show the actual numeric value associated with the selected slice. Contribution – Show the contribution (percentage) of the selected slice to the entire field. Contribution to parent – Show the contribution (percentage) of the selected slice to its parent ring slice.
Tooltip	Determine whether to show the actual value or contribution in the slice tooltip when hovering over it.
Legend	Specify whether to show or hide the Legend, and select its position in the widget.
