Chart

What is it?

The Chart widget allows you to add a chart onto a page using the Highcharts plugin in CKEditor. Charts can only be added to the 'Advanced Page' and 'Unit Landing Page' content types.

How to Add a Chart on a Page

  1. Select 'Chart' from the widget drop-down menu. Then, click the 'Highchart' plugin button on CKEditor to launch the Highcharts Editor.
  2. The basic steps for creating a chart are:
    1. Input data directly or import an existing CSV file.
      Note: We strongly recommend using a CSV to import your data. If you try to edit a chart after it has been saved, the data resets to blank.
    2. Choose the type of chart you want from chart templates and edit details like the chart's title.
    3. Once you've completed your edits, click the "Close & Use" button to import the chart data into CKEditor.
      Note: The chart data created with Highcharts cannot be viewed in the WYSIWYG on CKEditor. Please check it in the 'View' after saving the page.
