Chart type and date range control how your analytics data is displayed. Choose them based on the question you are answering.
## Supported chart types Userorbit Analytics supports these chart types in the chart builder: - Line: best for trends over time. - Bar: best for ranking events, properties, or breakdown values. - Donut: best for showing the share of a small number of categories. - Summary: best for a single high-level metric. - Histogram: best for distribution-style views when the selected data supports it. Funnels, Retention, and LTV reports use specialized views designed for those report types.
## Choose a line chart for trends Use a line chart when the direction of change matters. Examples include daily active users, weekly event volume, signup trends, or revenue over time. Line charts can group results by day, week, or month. Userorbit adjusts the grouping for longer date ranges so charts stay readable.
## Choose a bar chart for comparisons Use a bar chart when you want to compare totals across events or breakdown values. Bar charts work well for top pages, most-used features, countries, plans, or campaign names.
## Choose a donut chart for composition Use a donut chart when you want to show how a whole breaks into parts. Keep donut charts focused on a small number of categories so the result stays easy to read.
## Choose a summary chart for a headline number Use a summary chart for a metric your team checks often, such as total signups, unique active users, or completed onboarding actions in the selected range.
## Date range options Userorbit supports Today, Yesterday, 7D, 30D, 3M, 6M, 12M, and custom date ranges. Use shorter ranges for debugging and recent launches. Use longer ranges for trend analysis, retention review, and planning discussions.
## Export data From a saved or generated chart, use the export option to download the chart data as CSV when you need to inspect the underlying values or share them outside Userorbit.
