Create a bubble chart
Assessment administrators can create bubble charts to compare the relative standing of assessable records in three metric categories.
To create a bubble chart, navigate to Assessments > Admin > Bubble Charts and create a record (see table for field descriptions).
Note: For color fields, either HTML color names or hexadecimal (hex) values are acceptable. For hex values, the # character is optional. Values are not case-sensitive. For example, all of the following values are valid: LightGray, lightgray, #D3D3D3, d3d3d3.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Descriptive name for the bubble chart. Bubble Chart is appended to the name when you view the bubble chart. |
| - Top left label - Top right label - Bottom left label - Bottom right label | Label text for the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right quadrants, respectively. Choose labels that help interpret results. For example, a bubble chart that displays vendor assessment results might have the following quadrant labels, where vendors in the top right quadrant have the best scores: - Top left label: Resource - Top right label: Essential Partner - Bottom left label: Poor Performer - Bottom right label: Reevaluate |
| - Top left color - Top right color - Bottom left color - Bottom right color | Border colors for the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right quadrants, respectively. Bubbles are the color of the quadrant they are in. |
| Type | Metric type associated with this bubble chart. Only results for assessable records of the selected metric type are plotted on the bubble chart. |
| - X-Axis label - Y-Axis label - Z-Axis label | Label text for the X-, Y-, and Z-axis categories of the bubble chart. These labels appear along the X- and Y-axes, if applicable, and in bubble score summary windows. The metric category name is usually a good label. If these fields are left empty, the bubble chart automatically displays the selected category names as the labels. |
| - Metric X category - Metric Y category - Metric Z category | Metric category each axis represents. Results for the Z-axis category determine the size of each bubble. The Z-axis should generally represent the most important category out of the three. |
| Quadrant label color | Color of the label text for the quadrant borders. |
| Default | Check box that enables \(selected\) or disables \(cleared\) the bubble chart as the default. There can be only one default bubble chart per metric type. |
