What is a Pie Chart visualisation?

This pie chart is a very dynamic visualization that enables users to split segments by group by or by indicator constituents. It also enables users to click into segments to drill down into individual groups and their distributions. You can view the results of a pie chart by grouping a single indicator across geographies or selecting multiple indicators across geographies.

There are two main modes for pie charts under Settings: Indicator Breakdown and Grouping Breakdown.

1. Indicator Breakdown is used to view the selected indicator segmentation only.
2. Grouping Breakdown shows all selected indicators broken down by the selected group by on one consolidated view.

In addition, you can disaggregate the pie charts by selecting the required group by filter. Clicking on the visualization will drill down your selected pie chart into different views (for example different regions of a country). The hierarchy of the disaggregations (example moving from national to regional and district levels) will appear on the right hand side.

A pie chart is best used when trying to work out the composition of something. If you have categorical data then using a pie chart would work really well as each slice can represent a different category.
