Chart Options in Forms

Overview:

The proposed feature aims to enhance the functionality of forms by allowing users to embed charts that visualize data. Users can select a type of graph (e.g., line, bar, pie) and then input or select data points to populate the graph, all within the form itself.

Feasibility & User Experience:

• Technical Feasibility: Modern form builders support embedding various elements. Integrating a charting library with the form builder can make this feature a reality.

• User Experience:

  • Intuitive Interface: Users should easily select the chart type, input data, and view the updated chart.

  • Local Data Input: Data for the charts should be provided locally within the form, ensuring data integrity and minimizing potential errors.

  • Real-time Visualization: Charts should update in real-time as users input or adjust data.

Industry-Specific Use Cases:

1. Pest Control:

   • Baits Monitoring: Show the number of baits changed versus those unchanged during a service visit using a bar graph.

2. Health & Fitness:

   • Progress Tracking: Compare initial fitness metrics against current measurements over time using a line graph.

3. Tagging Industry:

   • Tagging Status: Visualize the number of assets or livestock tagged versus untagged using a pie chart.

4. Building Inspection:

   • Compliance Report: Compare compliant areas in a building versus non-compliant areas using a bar graph.

5. Manufacturing:

   • Quality Control: Visualize the number of products meeting quality standards versus those that don't using a pie chart.

6. Agriculture:

   • Crop Yield Analysis: Compare expected crop yield versus actual yield using a bar graph.

7. Environmental Monitoring:

   • Pollution Levels: Track desired pollution levels against actual measurements over time using a line graph.

8. Retail & Sales:

   • Inventory Management: Compare expected stock levels versus actual stock on hand using a bar graph.
