Setting up a counter visualisation

Counters are a great way to view simple numerical data. There is only one axis and one series.

Configuring your counter

The counter has one axis. Use the AXES tab to select what information you want your counter to count. The bottom dropdown menu specifies what to count, and the top dropdown menu specifies how you want to count them. E.g. Total number of people.

Use the SERIES tab to further filter your statements and the colour selection tool below to change the colour of your counter:

Benchmarking

Benchmarking adds a display of the % difference between the current value and the value for the previous time period selected, as shown below the main counter here:
