Sankey Widget

The Sankey widget provides an easy visualization of values as a proportional flow from one node to another.

Settings

The Sankey Widget can have the custom appearance settings of custom title, colors and controls.

Content

The nodes and links that make up the Sankey widget are defined in the content settings.

Nodes are the fixed points between which the data flows. Each node can be named in all project languages and colored using the color selector via the context menu at right click.

Links represent the data flows from a starting node to an end node. Each link is connected to a datapoint and the width of the link is proportional to the value of the data source. The Datapoint link can be edited via the context menu at right click.

The formating mode can be switched to either move nodes or place node connections. New nodes are added with the Add Node Button. New links can be The Layout button automatically adjusts the layout.

Formatting

The orientation of the chart can be set to horizontal or vertical. The overall node alignment can be configured as either right or left.

The Link Style defines the color used for the connecting links. This can either be set to a default grey color, the colors of the source or target node or be displayed a s a gradient from one node color to the next. The Focus setting defines which elements are especially highlighted when hovering over the chart. The available options are: none, self, series and adjacency. The default value is none.

The tooltip can be activated. This shows the element name for nodes. Connections show the connected datapoint, the connection direction and the current value.
