Visualization Extensions Overview

Overview

In different business scenarios, the built-in BI charts may not be enough to cover every analysis requirement. In addition to building special charts through the Custom Chart feature, Guandata BI also supports ready-to-use visualization plugins from the App Market, such as dumbbell charts, calendar charts, prediction curves, butterfly charts, and more. Users can search for the desired visualization plugin in the App Market and install it into BI with one click.

Visualization extensions give Guandata BI greater flexibility and scalability, allowing users to tailor data presentation to their needs and build more specialized analysis experiences. This section introduces the main extension paths and their usage scenarios.
