Hello guys,

I’m creating an app for WELLNESS monitoring.  
All days the users response to a form and the answers are stored in a table, then I have a work table that use the date to show the answers from that specific day. To show the answers I’m using charts.  
My question here is, when we move the mouse over the chart we can see the number of answers (see print), is it possible to see which users have choosen the specific option where we have the mouse.

Another question is how can I change the chart colours. In the classic apps we had the option to change the colour theme, but now I can’t find it in the new apps.

Thanks,  
Joao Ferreira

You would have to display a collection under the chart to be able to show that (though that’s not linked to what element you are hovering on).

It’s not possible. If you want more customization, you would have to use something customized like Chart.js.

Thanks @ThinhDinh,

I will need to search on that. I think it will not be easy as I’m using a work table and need to understand how I’m going to pass the values from the work table into the chart. But thanks for the tip.

Cheers,  
Joao Ferreira

Yeah, it’s not straightforward. To simplify it, you would have to:

- Write a JavaScript function that takes in your data and process it with Chart.js.
- Return a URI value.
- Use web embed to embed that URI.

Pros: Can customize basically anything you want that is within Chart.js, or any other chart libraries.

Cons: Hard to learn. I woud suggest using Claude to start off.
