Workspace offers a number of visualizations that let you generate visual representations of your data, such as bar charts, donut charts, histograms, line charts, maps, scatterplots, and others. Most visualization types will be familiar to you if you use Adobe Analytics. However, Analysis Workspace provides visualization settings and many new or unique visualizations types with interactive capabilities.
Visualization types
The following visualization types are available in Analysis Workspace:
Like a line graph, but with a colored area below the line. Use an area graph when you have multiple metrics and want to visualize the area expressed by the intersection of two or more metrics.
A cohort is a group of people sharing common characteristics over a specified period. Cohort Analysis is useful for retention, churn or latency analysis.
Fallout reports show where visitors left (fell out) and continued through (fell through) a predefined sequence of pages. Can be set to eventual or exact sequences
Lets you add user-defined text to your Workspace. Helpful for adding additional context to your analysis and insights, in addition to leveraging panel/visualization descriptions
Uses circles to depict the metric overlap of up to 3 segments.
Add visualizations to a panel
Open the Analysis Workspace project where you want to add a visualization.
Use any of the following methods to add the visualization:
In the left rail, select the Visualizations icon , then drag a visualization to the panel where you want to add it.
On the panel where you want to add the visualization, select the Plus icon, then choose the icon that represents the visualization that you want to add. Hover over the icon for each visualization to see its name.
Add a blank panel, then choose the visualization that you want to add.
Right-click an existing panel in your Analysis Workspace project, then select Duplicate visualization or Copy visualization.
Customize visualization settings
You can customize visualization settings for an individual visualization, or for all visualizations that you create.
Customize visualization settings for a single visualization
To access Visualization Settings for an individual visualization:
In Analysis Workspace, hover over the visualization whose settings you want to customize.
Click the gear icon.
Each type of visualization has unique settings that you can customize. For information about available settings, see Settings.
Customize visualization settings for all visualizations you create
You can customize settings for all visualizations that you create. For more information, see User preferences.
Settings settings
Setting
Description
Visualization Type
Change the type of visual used to depict the data.
Granularity
For trended visualizations, you can change the time granularity (day, week, month, etc.) from this drop-down list. This change also applies to the data source table.
Percentages
Displays values in percentages.
100% Stacked
This setting on area stacked, bar stacked or horizontal bar stacked visualizations turns the chart into a “100% stacked” visualization. Example:
Legend Visible
Lets you hide the detailed legend text for the Summary Number/Summary Change visualization.
Limit Max Items
Lets you limit the number of items that a visualization displays.
Anchor Y Axis at Zero
If all the values plotted on the chart are considerably above zero, the chart default will make the bottom of the y-axis NON-ZERO. If you check this box, the y-axis will be forced to zero (and it will re-draw the chart).
Normalization
Forces metrics to equal proportions. This is helpful when plotted metrics are of very different magnitudes.
Display Dual Axis
Only applies if you have two metrics - you can have a y-axis on the left (for one metric) and on the right (for the other metric). This is helpful when plotted metrics are of very different magnitudes.
Show Anomalies
Enhances line graphs and freeform tables by displaying anomaly detection. Anomaly detection in line visualizations includes an expected value (dashed line) and an expected range (shaded band).
Legend legend
A visualization legend helps you to relate date in a source table to plotted series in the visualization. The legend is interactive - you can click a legend item to show/hide a series in the visualization. This is helpful if you want to simplify the data being visualized.
Additionally, you can rename legend labels to help you make visuals more consumable. Note: legend editing does not apply to: Treemap, Bullet, Summary Change/Number, Text, Freeform, Histogram, Cohort or Flow visualizations.
To edit a legend label:
Right-click one of the legend labels.
Click Edit Label.
Enter the new label text.
Press Enter to save.
Right-click menu right-click
Additional functionality for a visualziation is available by right-clicking on the visualization header. Settings will vary by visualization. Some of the settings available are:
Setting
Description
Insert Copied Panel/Visualization
Lets you paste (“insert”) a copied panel or visualization to another place within the project, or into a completely different project.
Copy Visualization
Lets you right-click and copy a visualization, so that you can insert it to another place within the project, or into a completely different project.
Makes an exact duplicate of the current visualization, which you can then modify.
Edit Description
Add (or edit) a text description for the visualization.
Get Visualization Link
Lets you direct someone to a specific visualization within a project. When the link is clicked, the recipient will be required to login before being directed to the exact visualization linked to.
Start Over
(Works for Flow, Venn, Histogram) Deletes the configuration for the current visualization so you can re-configure it from scratch.
Create Visual icon quick-viz
If you are not sure which visualization to pick, click the Create Visual icon in any table row (available on hover). This the the fastest way to add a visualization. Clicking it prompts Analysis Workspace to take an educated guess at which visualization would best fit your data. For example, if you have 1 row selected, it will create a trended line graph. If you have 3 segment rows selected, it will create a Venn diagram.
