Pie Chart

Bar Chart

Use the Bar Chart visualization to compare values for different metrics for the selected time frame with one vertical column representing a metric. For example, you can use bar charts to view engagement metrics (likes, shares, and comments) for your Facebook Pages.

Line Chart

Use the Line Chart visualization to display daily values for the selected time frame with a single line graphed on an x-y axis. For example, you can use it to analyze a specific metric for different social networks, such as your fan and follower growth across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Table

Use the Table visualization to display multiple values in a table aggregated by time (day, week, month, year). For example, you can use it to view in-depth information about your follower growth per day per social network.

KPI Summary

Use the KPI Summary visualization to display multiple metric totals over a specific time frame.

Content Box

Use the Content Box visualization to display a single top or bottom-performing post by a specific metric. To view more than one post, select the Content Table visualization (description follows).

Content Table

Use the Content Box visualization to display a list of top or bottom-performing content by a specific metric. For example, you can use it to view the top five posts in a specific campaign based on the metric you select.
