Show timeseries changes on specific indicators using Sparkline? Bar charts?

[prtksxna]

Do we have historical data at a good enough granularity to be able to show this?

[geohacker]

Not so much of historical data. May be three years. Ideas? I'd love to do more with this data.

[prtksxna]

If its a sparkline, we'll need data that isn't too spaced out, you know what I mean? I could mock something up you could figure out the data in parallel. Sounds good?

[geohacker]

But there's no way to figure out the data. We have only 3 years of data :-/ Do you think we should use some other way?

On which data points do we have this data?

[iambibhas]

I think bar charts would be better for us, as we don't have much historical data.

[geohacker]

I'll leave @prtksxna's question to @iambibhas

[prtksxna]

I agree with @iambibhas But with just 3 years of data, I wonder what good it'll do!

[prtksxna]

@geohacker I guess we shouldn't do this (as we had discussed when we met)

[geohacker]

So @gkjohn also thinks this is good to have. Gives you a better sense of whether things are improving or not. Let's give it a shot. I understand sparklines are not going to work. But ideas?

[gkjohn]

Improving. Changing. Any of these combinations. We could, of course, download data for more years. Say 5? 7? 10?

[gkjohn]

Bar charts are fine, no?

[vinayakh]

Sparklines are better if you want to show trends. In addition a grayed area can show the normal range and red/green can show highest and lowest points. Jquery sparlines make them easy to generate - http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/

Best to show sparklines if you want to show trends. A grayed background can show normal range and red/green can show max/min values. Also jQuery Sparklines makes this easy -> http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/#s-about

@geohacker @iambibhas We finally decided to put detailed stats on data on another page altogether, right?

[prtksxna]

As per the new design, when a marker is clicked it'll get the whole sidebar to display information. I don't think a completely new page is required to show more stats now.

What is the extra stuff that we wanted to show? @geohacker is there a final list of all the datapoints that we want to show for a school? Should I make one on the wiki?

[geohacker]

We don't need a page layout. I'll put together the new list and send it to you soon. I need to get inputs from everyone.

[prtksxna]

Sounds good :thumbsup:
