A Timed Donut Chart is a data visualization where the donut shape is used to display data for different time intervals or time periods. Each segment of the donut represent a specific time period, and the size or color of each segment corresponds to some metric or value associated with that time period.

The Timed Donut example below is looking at Incidents over the last 12 months.

Let's look at the Data and Chart options for this Timed Donut chart. The chart is displaying incident data so the chart is utilizing the incident table.

Conditions: Setting conditions allows you to query the table you are building the chart off of.

Calendar Type: The calendar input can be set to a Standard Calendar or Fiscal Year.

Trend Type: Trend Type refers to the general direction or pattern of change in a set of data points over a specific period of time.

Date Range: This input determines the range of time displayed on the line chart. The Date Range considers the dates associated with the field selected in the Date Field chart option.

Date Field: A 'Date' field is designed to store date and time values.

Sort by: Allows user to determine the order of the list. Sort by can set as Value Descending, Value Ascending, Alphabetically Descending, Alphabetically Ascending.

Now, let's look at the styling options that have been changed from the default styling options to give this Timed Donut chart more clarity. First a custom title of "Incidents - Last 12 Months" is set to provide a quick understanding of the data being displayed.

Next, the Data Values toggle is engaged to display the data values of the individual segments in the donut.

Finally, the Display legend and Data percentages toggles are engaged to display the legend and data percentages at the bottom of Timed Donut Chart.
