A single visualization builder replaces the old widget dialog

One builder for every visualization

Starting today, every organization uses the new visualization builder as the only way to create charts and tables in Dcycle. It replaces the previous widget dialog completely. Adding a visualization now opens a full page flow with three steps: Source, Data and Chart, and editing an existing chart reopens that same screen instead of a small side panel.

The data picker now covers everything in one place with search: the 19 Dcycle categories, Dcycle KPIs like Emissions, Energy and Fuel consumption, your own categories and custom KPI groups, facilities and vehicles, and the shipment map. The old flow only worked with pivot categories.

Shape your data, not just pick a category

Inside the builder you can drag fields into rows, columns and values, filter with search, set a date range with a reset to the project default, and choose operational or financial consolidation under the GHG Protocol or ISO 14064. You can add intensity, custom and formula metrics, and show any metric as a percentage of row, column or total.

Grouping by organization now includes a switch that turns the table into your holding tree: each parent keeps its own data on a separate row while including its subsidiaries, and every level recalculates from the original records so averages and ratios stay accurate. You can also compare named periods side by side in the same table or chart, and choose from six chart types (table, bars, lines, area, pie, single value) with color series, one chart per dimension value, sorting, granularity and fiscal year labels for organizations whose year does not start in January.

What stays the same

Every visualization already saved on a dashboard keeps rendering and editing exactly as before, and templates and automatic dashboards keep working without changes. The Free plan also gets the new builder, with Emissions, Invoices, Fuel consumption and Vehicle consumptions. Dashboards are now safer too, with autosave, a warning if someone else changed the board, result details from the widget menu, and CSV export of calculated values.

Good to know: Water consumption does not have its own data source yet, it currently pulls from Invoices filtered by type.
