Charts in audiences

You can use powerful full-screen chart visualisations in Orbit audience workbooks to fully visualise your analytics.

For a new or existing audience, you can add a variety of chart types. You can then define your dimensions, measures, and data properties using the intuitive chart properties side panel. Once you've added and defined a chart, you can select a cross-section of your data from the chart to create new audiences.

Example use case
