OAS - New Visualization - Racing Bars

Kamal Thomas

The Oracle Analytics Extensions Library, available at the link below, has many additional visualizations that could be highly useful to users. Two that are particularly beneficial to our team at the moment are the Racing Bars and Funnel charts. However, these extensions are not officially supported by Oracle, despite being available in the Oracle Analytics Extensions Library. It would be valuable to us if visualizations like the Racing Bars and Funnel were made available as part of an official release for OAS.

Examples of how we could use the Funnel and Racing Bars are provided below. The Funnel would help us visualize the different stages of a process. For example, we could use it to display the stages of the application process and the numbers associated with each. The Racing Bars would be useful in visualizing how the popularity of courses has changed over the years.

Agree the Funnel chart should a default chart option

Having this enhancement would be incredibly helpful.

Some wishlist items:
racing bars
Allow alignment of descriptors in bars, i.e. don't truncate
Option to use icons next to bar?

Have you tried the Racing Bars extension?

The extension is okay and we have one customer who is using it in production but the fact that it's not really supported is a major challenge when there are defects, most likely due to browser changes. For example, I believe the "refresh button" is not working anymore. My application support team is reluctant to encourage the use of any of the extensions and would love to see this feature (and others) either incorporated into the base product or with a higher commitment level for maintaining the extensions over time.

These are the options I have investigated for an equivalent to a Funnel Chart - all native OAC viz except #2 which is a plugin
