Sankey Diagram

Sankey diagrams show the unidirectional flows of values from the ultimate sources to the ultimate targets, with emphasis on visualization of the flow intensity. For example, a Sankey diagram can show the movement of goods at each stage of a supply chain, such as production, transportation, and consumption. This makes it useful for highlighting flow trends and resource optimization.

Sankey Diagrams have the following sections:

• Metrics
• Attribute (From)
• Attribute (To)
• Configuration

In Sankey diagrams, you can also:

• Display the values as a percentage of the total sum. To do so, check the Show in % checkbox in the Metric section.

• In Configuration > Canvas > Labels style, you can choose Backplate to add a background behind chart labels. This makes labels easier to read because the backplate (white by default) creates higher contrast with the chart colors.

For information about common characteristics and settings of all visualizations, see the Visualization Types section.
