Visualization Module

Overview​

The Visualization Module allows users to create and manage data visualizations through a flexible interface.

This guide covers module creation, configuration, and management for both simple visualizations and grouped visualization sets.

1. Visualization Module Creation​

To create a new visualization module, navigate to the Modules page.

Click the Create a new module button to initiate the creation process. A form will appear prompting you to enter:

  • Label – User-friendly name for your module.
  • Type – Module type "Visualization".
  • ID – Auto-filled from label (used in URL paths; must contain no spaces).

    Note: The Label can be a short display name, while the Title (configured later) is more descriptive.

Once filled, click Create. This opens the module configuration screen.

2. Basic Configuration​

Core Configuration​

Configure in General configuration :

  • Label
  • Title
  • Short Description
  • Description
  • Categorize visualization into groups (Checkbox – default: unchecked) Leave unchecked for flat/non-grouped layout.

Adding Visualizations​

Click Manage visualization to add new visualizations and configure their layouts. Afterwards click Add Visualization to add a new visualization. You must specify:

  • Type of visualization
  • Name of visualization
  • Caption detailing the visualization selected

You can add as many visualizations as needed.

Once you’ve added visualizations, you can adjust and arrange visualizations for different screen sizes.

  • Use the Screen Size Dropdown to configure layouts per device (e.g., mobile, tablet, desktop).

Expected Outcome: Visualization Display Example

3. Grouped Configuration​

Use this setup if you want to organize visualizations into categories or tabs.

Group Setup​

Enable Categorize visualization into groups checkbox

When Categorize visualization into groups is checked additional UI elements will appear:

Group Selector​

Choose between:

  • Segmented – Groups appear as segmented buttons
  • Dropdown – Groups appear in a dropdown menu

Creating Groups​

Click + Add Group to open a new group form

Fill in:

  • Group Title: Display name
  • Short Name: Compact identifier
  • ID: Auto-filled from title Click Create Group to save it

Group Configuration​

After creating a group, configure the following:

  • Short Description
  • Description

You can then manage visualizations to the group using the same process:

  1. Add Visualization – Select type, name, and caption.
  2. Configure Layout – Adjust for screen sizes.
  3. Save Changes – Ensure changes are applied.

You can:

  • Add more groups
  • Edit existing ones
  • Delete unwanted groups

Expected Outcome: Visualization Display Example

4. Deleting a Module​

Modules can be deleted entirely from the module overview screen.

⚠️ Warning: Deleting a module will remove all its visualizations and groups permanently.
