JavaScript

var i, chart;

/**
* "companyMonitorData" should be defined in your data.js.
* Loop over companyMonitorData.targets for Target Reach section of
* Company Monitor to create hbullet type chart for each section.
*/for (i = 0; i < companyMonitorData.targets.length; i++) {
    chart = companyMonitorData.targets[i];
    // The type of chart to render
    chart.type = "hbullet";
    chart.width = "256";
    chart.height = "26";
    chart.containerBackgroundOpacity = "0";
    chart.renderAt = chart.id + "Container";
    chart.showChartLoadingMessage = false;
    chart.showDataLoadingMessage = false;
    FusionCharts.render(chart);
}

How Can I Easily Add a Monthly Revenue Monitoring Component to My Dashboard?

Adding a revenue monitoring mechanism is not as simple as it might seem. It involves lots of data, responsive and interactive visualizations, and, most importantly, accurate data reflection. If you develop them from scratch, all these elements can cause a wide range of problems and would require an enormous amount of effort.

Thankfully, FusionCharts provides you with a simple mechanism to integrate the monthly revenue monitoring component in your dashboard that involves just a few lines of JavaScript code. Once you plug it in, everything is handled internally by the FusionCharts library itself.

Take a look!

JavaScript

var i, chart;

/**

* Loop over companyMonitorData.revenues for Revenue section of
* Company Monitor to create sparkcolumn type chart for each section.

    chart = companyMonitorData.revenues[i];
    chart.type = "sparkcolumn";
    chart.width = "118";
    chart.height = "38";
    chart.containerBackgroundOpacity = "0";
    chart.renderAt = chart.id + "Container";
    chart.showChartLoadingMessage = false;
    FusionCharts.render(chart);
