How to add a Sankey Chart Widget in Bold BI?
Bold BI allows you to add a variety of widgets to your dashboard, including the Sankey chart widget. This widget is a type of flow diagram where the width of the arrows is proportional to the flow quantity. Here’s how you can add a Sankey chart widget to your Bold BI dashboard. Sankeys are best used when you want to show a many-to-many mapping between two domains (e.g., universities and majors) or multiple paths through a set of stages.
We have developed a custom Sankey widget utilizing the third-party library Apache ECharts. Apache ECharts is an open-source data visualization library written in JavaScript, enabling the creation of customizable and interactive charts and graphs for web applications. To use this custom widget you should agree with the license https://github.com/apache/echarts/blob/master/LICENSE
Step 1: Download the Sankey Chart Custom Widget: First, you need to download the Sankey Chart custom widget. You can do this by using the provided download link.
