Curved Bar Charts use curved bars instead of the traditional straight bars found in bar charts. Curved Bar Charts act as a bar chart, the real difference is the way the data is displayed.

The Curved Bar Chart example below is displaying the priority of active incidents.

Let's look at the Data and Chart Options for the Curved Bar Chart above.

We want the chart to display incident data so we will use the incident table.

Conditions: We only want incidents that have a priority of critical, high, moderate, and low. The conditions in the chart options above are set to only display incidents with one of these priorities.

Group By: The Group By input is set to priority, therefore the curved bars will group the priorities of each individual incident together with incidents that have the same priority. Think of Group By as what curved bars in the chart represent.

Aggregate Type: Refers to a data aggregation method or function used to combine or summarize data from multiple records. They allow users to perform calculations on sets of records to derive meaningful insights. Some common aggregate types include:

Aggregate Field: refers to a field that displays an aggregated value based on the data from other fields. These fields are used to perform calculations or summarize data from related records.

Now let's looking at the styling for this Curved Bar Chart. This Curved Bar chart has a few changes to the default style to make the data easily consumed.

The title for this Curved Bar Chart has been changed to "Incidents by Priority" for quick understanding of what the chart is representing. The toggles for the Display Legend and Data Values are engaged to add extra insight to the Curved Bar Chart.
