Year-Over-Year Report

Tip: Interface patterns give you an opportunity to explore different interface designs. Be sure to check out How to Adapt a Pattern for Your Application.

Goal

This is a feature-rich, interactive report for sales and profits by products over select periods of time. This page explains how you can use this pattern in your interface, and walks through the design structure in detail.

Design structure

The main components in this pattern are boxes, styled text, rich text icons, and charts that show a break down of profits, sales, and costs per year, month, and product. The components are organized in side by side layouts nested within columns layouts.

The image below displays how the pattern looks on a blank interface with callouts of the main components. You can examine the entire expression or jump down to the subsections below with referenced line numbers to see a detailed breakdown of the main components.

screenshot of the pattern explaining the main components. The first is a box containing styled text and rich text icons in a side by side layout. The second is a dropdown field acting as a filter. The third are cards with styled text and dynamic links. The fourth are bar and column charts.

Pattern expression

This pattern introduces a 409-line expression to the interface.

[Line 260-409] Display time period filter, product options, and charts

The second columns layout contains the time period dropdown, product cards, and sales charts. The components in this section should be used as examples of how you can create an interactive report. For the components to conditionally change displays and values based on user selection, substitute your own queries and data.

The time period dropdown shows one way to create a filter in your report using local variables to define filter values. With a function filter, the card and chart values would change based on the time period selected.

The product cards are configured using the a!forEach() function with styled text and dynamic link components. In a completed report, these cards with dynamic links would change the chart series values based on your selected product.

Lastly, the bar and column charts are configured using local variables to define their categories and series. Notice that both charts use the same color scheme to create a consistent style for the interface.
