Embedded analytics should use chart types that answer user questions quickly inside your product.
Good embedded chart types
- Number charts for customer KPIs
- Line charts for trends
- Bar charts for comparisons
- Tables for details and drilldowns
- Maps for location-based products
- Download charts when users need exports
Choosing embedded charts
Use fewer, more focused charts in embedded dashboards. Embedded users often want answers in context, not a general-purpose analytics workspace.
Security considerations
For embedded charts and dashboards:
- Generate embed signatures server-side.
- Scope data with filters.
- Configure allowed domains.
- Review download and pivot table permissions.
