Getting Started With GravityCharts
GravityCharts is available to purchase on the GravityView website. If you’re already a GravityView All Access customer, you can install GravityCharts at no additional cost!
After installing and activating the plugin, head over to your Form Settings page, select the GravityCharts tab on the left, and then click Add New to create a new chart feed. (You can create an unlimited number of charts per form!)
Creating a New Chart
After creating a new feed, give your chart a name, choose one of the five available chart types and select a data source.
When you’ve done that, scroll down to the chart configuration panel. Here, you can customize the chart design while viewing a preview of your chart that updates in real-time!
Customizing the Design
Above the chart preview, there are four design tabs – Colors, Design, Title & Legend, and Axis. Each tab includes a range of options for customizing the look and feel of your chart.
When you open a tab, you can drag it around and position it where you like on the screen.
As you make changes to your chart’s design, you’ll see the chart preview update in real-time. This allows you to design beautiful visualizations in seconds without writing a single line of code.
Embedding Your Chart on a Page or Post
After configuring the chart design, scroll down and save your changes. You can now embed your chart on a page or post!
To do this, open your page/post, click on the ‘+’ icon and search for the GravityCharts block. After adding the block to your page, you’ll need to select your form and chart feed from the dropdown menus.
When you’re done, simply update the page and view it on the front end. Your chart will update as you receive new form entries!
