Report Chart Labels

I have a request pending to update several charts on a dashboard homepage. I cant find any options or documentation related to chart labels or totals. Im looking for two types of labels that are pretty standard for most any reporting tool:
1. Data labels
2. Chart totals

The only thing that comes close is the "Display Grid" option which is far too detailed and consumes too much screen space on a dashboard. Did I miss something or are there really no options for data labels on charts?

The display grid option is currently the only way to display chart totals.

Sorry I'm late to the game. Phillip's answer is correct within ServiceNow. If this is a big need, you can take a look at Explore Analytics. It allows you to run live reports (or trended reports) against ServiceNow, but gives you more flexibility -- including putting data labels and chart totals onto the report.



Take a look at this interactive example with data labels, total, a target reference line, and colors aligned to priority. (Try the header controls at the top to change how the report is published).



These reports can be published to ServiceNow dashboards (live), can use ServiceNow's login (so you don't have to log in separately), and you can control the size of the reports down to the pixel. If you're logged in, you can drill through to the records, or drill down to sub-charts.



You can give it a try here.

In Fuji, next to the Type field, click the gear icon and turn on 'Display data labels' to get values to show up on the chart.

Hi! Erik,



I checked it.


This option is not available with all graphs/chart.


Its available with columns only.



Thanks
