Chart widget

1. Access Your Dashboard

• Log in to your Vemcount account

• Navigate to your dashboard view

This is where all widgets are displayed and managed.

2. Add a New Widget

• Click the blue “+” (Add Widget) button (top-right corner)

This opens the widget selection panel.

3. Select “Chart Widget”

• Choose Chart Widget from the available options

This widget is best suited for:

• Footfall trends

• Conversion over time

• Queue behaviour analysis

4. Select Metric(s)

• Choose the data metric(s) you want to display

Examples for people counting:

• Visitors Entering

• Visitors Inside

• Conversion Rate

• Turnover (if integrated)

• Queue metrics

5. Choose Chart Type (Optional but Important)

You may be able to select a visual format, such as:

• Line chart (best for trends)

• Bar/column chart (best for comparisons)

• Area chart (best for volume emphasis)

6. Select Data Source(s)

Choose where the data comes from:

Typical options include:

• Location → Entire store/site

• Zone → Specific area (e.g. fitting room, entrance)

• Entrance → Specific door

• Group/Tag → Multiple sensors grouped together

• Best Practice:

• Use location-level data for overall performance

• Use zone-level data for behavioural insights (e.g. queue vs shop floor)

7. Configure Time & Context (Critical Step)

Although not explicitly listed in the basic guide, charts rely on:

• Time period (e.g. today, last week, custom range)

• Data granularity (hourly, daily, weekly)

• Best Practice:

• Use hourly intervals for operational decisions

• Use daily/weekly for trend analysis

8. Proceed to Widget Layout

• Click Next

• This takes you to the visual and naming setup

9. Add Title & Description

• Title (Required): Make it clear and actionable

• Description (Optional): Add context if needed

• Good examples:

• “Hourly Footfall – Last 7 Days”

• “Conversion Rate vs Traffic – Store A”

• Avoid vague titles like “Chart 1”

10. Customise Appearance (Optional)

You can adjust:

• Widget size (grid layout)

• Colour scheme

• Best Practice:

• Use larger widgets for complex charts

• Keep colours consistent across dashboards (e.g. blue = footfall)

11. Save the Widget

• Click Save

• The widget will now appear on your dashboard
