Charts
Charts provides the reusable chart foundation used when WinnerWare needs to present business data visually instead of as plain lists or numbers.
Overview
This module supports experiences that need simple chart presentation inside the site. It is not a large standalone admin area. Instead, it gives other features a common way to define chart titles, choose a chart style, and render the result on a page or widget.
Key Features
- Adds a reusable chart information part.
- Supports Line Chart and Bar Chart display types.
- Supports a required chart title field.
- Provides the frontend script support needed to render charts in the page.
How It Works
This module supplies a chart part that other WinnerWare features can attach to their own content items or widgets. Editors can set the chart title and choose the chart style, while the related feature supplies the actual data.
In the current solution, this chart support is used by survey-driven chart experiences rather than as a standalone chart builder.
Configuration

Usage
Use this module when another WinnerWare feature needs to present results visually in a chart. It works best as supporting infrastructure for reporting-style widgets and summary views.
Show survey results in a chart
When Surveys Charts (CloudSolutions.Surveys.Charts) is on, you can add the Interview Data Chart widget to show survey answers as a line or bar chart. Surveys Charts needs Surveys With Teams, so team data is available to the chart.
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Chart Title | The title shown above the chart. |
| Type | Line Chart or Bar Chart. |
| Survey | The survey to show answers from. |
| Inputs to show on chart | The survey controls to include in the chart. Select at least one. |
| Data Range | Current Week, 2 Weeks, 4 Weeks, or 6 Weeks. |
| Data Source | Whose answers to show: Logged user's data only, Logged user's current team data only, Logged user's accessible team's data, or Specific Teams when accessible. |
| Teams | The teams to show when Data Source is Specific Teams when accessible. |
The chart appears only to signed-in users, and only when there is data to show. When Data Source is Logged user's accessible team's data or Specific Teams when accessible, the chart also shows a team selector.
Operational Notes
- The module creates a reusable chart part with title and type fields, and loads the scripts that draw the chart in the browser.
- The survey chart widget is the main user of this chart support. See Surveys.
