5. Series Design — Circular

In this step, the Circular widget's visual settings are configured: slice/ring colors, angle configuration, radius/inner radius, border, and data labels.

Wizard route: /cartography/add/seriesdesign

Prerequisite

Steps 1-4 of the Circular flow must be completed.

04 — Axis Configuration

Back Button Behavior

If you return with Back from this step, the series configuration that was created is deleted.


1. Screen Layout

On the left is the series design form; on the right is the live chart preview.

Circular Series Design — left form, right live preview


2. Series Display

Field Description
Series Name Series name to appear in legend / tooltip
Series Color Default slice color (each slice automatically takes from palette)

3. Pie Settings (For Pie / Doughnut)

Field Description
Radius Pie radius (% of card height)
Start Angle Starting angle of the first slice (°)
End Angle Ending angle of the last slice (°)
Stroke Color Slice border color
Stroke Width Slice border thickness
Explode Pull the selected slice outward (toggle)
Explode Index Which slice to explode (starts from 0)
Explode Offset Explode distance (default 0.1)

Highlight with Explode

Highlight the largest or critical slice with explode. For example, in a production defect analysis, bring the "Defect" slice forward with Explode Index = 0 (if it's the largest) or the index corresponding to that slice.


4. Doughnut Settings (Doughnut Only)

In addition to Pie settings:

Field Description
Inner Radius Inner hole radius (the donut hole)

Doughnut Inner Radius

If you keep Inner Radius in the 0.5 - 0.7 range, you create a central area for displaying a total KPI value. A theme-dependent feature may be available to add an annotation in the center in Step 7 General Design.


5. Radial Bar Settings (Radial Bar Only)

Field Description
Radius Outer radius
Inner Radius Inner radius
Corner Style Bar end shape (bothFlat, bothCurve, etc.)
Track Opacity Background track transparency
Gap Gap between bars
Track Color Background track color

Radial Bar Track

The track (background trace) is the "empty" part of each ring. The operator sees how close to the target they are by comparing it to the track. Choose a light tone for Track Color (e.g., #E5E7EB).


6. Data Label Settings

For Pie / Doughnut:

Field Description
Show Data Labels Value/percentage label on each slice
Data Label Text Color Label text color
Data Label Font Size Label text size (px)
Data Label Position Inside / Outside / Hidden
Data Label Content Value / Percentage / Name + Percentage
Data Label Alignment near, center, far
Data Label Overflow Mode Behavior for labels that don't fit (hide, trim, shift)

Percentage Display

For Pie/Doughnut, select Data Label Content = Percentage. When the operator wants to see share rather than absolute value, it is more readable.


7. Preview

If the preview panel is not refreshing, click on a field in the form again to trigger a focus change.


8. Confirmation

When you click the Next button at the top right, flow.hasSeriesDesign = true is marked and you go directly to 7. General Design (Step 6 Add Series is skipped).


9. Next Step

07 — General Design

Step 6 Is Skipped

There is no multiple series in the Circular group; the wizard goes directly to Step 7.
