Views on Ruly

Optimize your no code data visualization using Views on Ruly.

Views allow the user to display their data in various formats or visualizations. This provides a more dynamic approach to interpreting your data. Which in turn, helps produce more efficient insight and understanding.

Ruly offers several dynamic and practical views for users to apply to their applications.

The user can switch views using the view buttons in the top right corner.

This is also where views can be created and added to a model. By going into edit mode and clicking on the plus icon that appears.

Lists

Lists are automatically generated when the user first creates their data model. The fields created will appear as columns. These columns can be added or removed by going into edit mode.

The list below displays an archive of Opportunity Leads in a Sales Application

Charts

The same data from a list view can be reformatted into a chart view. Ruly offers nine different types of chart views: line, area, pie, bar, horizontal bar, stacked bar, stacked horizontal bar, donut, and indicator only.

 

The stacked bar chart below displays the Sprint Progress for a Software Development Application measuring the points remaining, done, and in QA, by date. The legend in the button right corner defines the meaning of each stacked color in a bar.

 

The image below displays a donut chart (on the left) and a pie chart (on the right) for an Expense Application.

The donut chart shows Expenses by Type with a legend in the top right corner matching the expense types to the colored slices. 

The pie chart shows Expenses by Status. The statuses are labelled on each slice. 

Individual entries can be selected on charts to drill down on the information contained within the bar, pie slice, etc.

Indicators

Indicators can be added as an overlay to any chart to display a default drill-down on important metrics.

The line chart below displays Expected Revenue by Month for a Sales Application. The indicator over top displays the total expected revenue. 

Indicator-only charts can be used as simple charts to exclusively showcase important metrics.

 

There are two types of indicator-only charts: Single-Value and Count.

Single-value indicators show a comparison between two numbers. The single value appears in bold, and the previous value appears in smaller text. To the right, a percentage bar displays comparing the numbers. 

 

The image below displays two single-value indicator charts for a Sales Application.

The indicator on the left shows a comparison between Opportunities this Month compared to last month. 

The indicator on the right shows a comparison between Opportunities this Year compared to last year. 

Count indicators display one number. The chart will count the data based on the configured criteria and display the number. 

Calendar

The calendar view will automatically connect your Ruly application’s data within the calendar to help organize your company’s schedule.

Multiple calendar views are available to easily switch between. Day, work week, week, and month are all available as buttons in the top right corner of the calendar.  

The calendar view has a drag-and-drop feature that automatically alters the date and time data within an entry when it is moved to another spot.

Kanban

Kanban view is useful to view data from a list pivoted by a particular field.

The pivot field must be either a lookup table, data table (linked to the current model) or a picklist field. The options in the lookup/date table or picklist, create the columns that appear at the top of the view. The entries that apply to each column will appear as chips in the vertical rows. The chips can be customized to show the data that the user finds relevant.

The kanban chart below shows Opportunities in their different stages for a Sales Application.

Like the Calendar view, items can be dragged and dropped into other columns. This action will automatically update the pivot field value for that entry.

Gantt

A gantt view is used to see a chronological connection in your data. To create a gantt view, two date fields but be present in the data model. This will usually be a start date field and end date field.

 

The gantt view below displays the Project Status in a Projects Application. The bars display the start date and deadline of each category in the project. Within the bars, the percentage of completeness is displayed. 

Tree

Tree view is like a list view but with a hierarchal structure. The list items expand to show sub-lists within list items depending on how the data connects. To create a tree view, the user must have a model which links to itself.

The tree view below displays a list of Car Parts, showing how each part connects to the other. 

Timeline

Timeline view displays data entries chronologically. The newest data entries appear at the top of the view and go down a timeline with each entry.

The timeline view below displays Expense Claims for an Expense Application.

Tiles

Tile view displays every entry from a model as a square tile. This is useful for model entries that include avatars or thumbnails as a field. 

The tile view below displays a list of Employees for an Expense Application as tiles displaying the employee’s avatar photo.
