πŸ“Œ Step 2: Configuring X & Y Axes in Dashboard Charts

  • Insight: Compares task load across support agents.


πŸ“Œ Step 3: Resizing & Rearranging Charts for a Personalized View

Your dashboard layout should reflect what matters most. Resizing and rearranging charts helps you prioritize key insights.

βœ” Drag & Drop charts to adjust positioning.

βœ” Resize charts to highlight most important metrics.

3️⃣ Release when satisfied.

How to Rearrange Charts in Jugl:

πŸ“Œ Step 4: Enabling Sorting & Display Options in Charts

Sorting your data correctly makes it easier to analyze trends.

πŸ“ Sorting Options in Jugl:

βœ” Sort by X-Axis (Ascending / Descending) – Organize categories from smallest to largest or vice versa.

How to Enable Sorting in Charts:
