Anatomy

Basic Structure

Chart cards can include variations of the following elements. However, what is displayed should match the overall content of the chart pattern that it will navigate to.

A. Chart Title (Mandatory)

B. KPI Metric

C. Legend 

Up to four legend items can be shown on the card. If there are more than four, the fourth legend item indicates how many additional items there are.

D. Timestamp

E. Trend or Subtitle Label

F. Chart Plot 

The chart plot area will be the same as in the card’s associated chart pattern. We recommend either including the x or y-axis labels, but not both. For the x-axis labels, we also suggest displaying only the first and last labels or a maximum of three labels. For y-axis labels, a maximum of three labels and showing gridlines is recommended.

Behavior and Interaction

The chart card only has one action. When tapped, it navigates to the full interactive chart view.

Variations

KPI and KPI Progress Cards

The chart card supports the existing KPI components available in the SAP Fiori for iOS SDK. Either the KPI progress view or the regular KPI can be placed in the card; however, for the KPI progress view, only the small variation can be used.

When using these components, the chart title label on the card becomes the only label for the KPI – no other labels for the KPI will be included. Only one of these KPI components can be used in the chart card at a time.

 

Analytic Data Table Card

The analytic data table card contains a preview of a data table. By displaying the most important two to three columns of its source (data table), it helps users to identify unforeseen changes of the data immediately before accessing the full data table.
