YULAN LIN: Hi.
My name is Yulan Lin.
And I'm a developer advocate for Data Studio.
Data Studio is Google's free business intelligence
and reporting solution that allows
you to connect to a bunch of different data sources,
analyze and visualize your data, and share
the results with colleagues and stakeholders.
Out of the box, Data Studio provides you
a ton of different chart options to tell stories with your datas
and find insight.
However, sometimes you want maybe a different chart,
or a different styling, or a specialized component
that does calculations or performs a different function.
This is where Community Visualizations come in.
Data Studio Community Visualizations
allow you to create custom components that
integrate seamlessly with your Data Studio dashboards
and your existing reporting workflow.
Let's take a look at some examples.
The Supermetrics has built this really cool Gantt chart
to track the progress of campaigns.
Other people have used Community Visualizations
to build core diagrams, Sankey diagrams, and more.
Sometimes, you want different styling options.
Maybe you want the look and feel of your dashboard
to align more closely to your branding
or to your client's branding.
Sometimes, you might want your whole dashboard
to look like it was hand-drawn in web comic style,
like this chart that Michael Whitaker has built.
Anvil Insights has built this really cool
statistical analyzer to help their clients understand
whether or not there was anything
of statistical significance in their data
that they should pay attention to.
Other people have used Community Visualizations
to create machine learning models in browser
in Data Studio reports using TensorFlow.js.
Let's take a look at how you use Community Visualizations
in Data Studio.
To add a Community Visualization to a Data Studio report, click
on this block-looking icon.
You can either add one of the featured visualizations
or click on Explore More to see more.
And here, you'll get a whole list of partner visualizations,
visualizations that have gone through a review and approvals
process with the Data Studio team.
I'm going to add this Gauge chart.
And the way you add it is to click on the card.
And you can either click on your report or drag
and draw to add it to your report.
And once it's in your report, you can change out the data.
You can also change the styling options,
just like you would with any other Data Studio chart.
Now, if I were to add a visualization that
wasn't in the partner gallery, I would, again,
click on the block-looking icon, click on Explore More.
And then I would click on Build Your Own Visualization.
And then in this box that says Manifest Path,
I would put in a manifest path.
I would hit Submit.
And I would click on the rendered card.
And again, you just click to add that to your report.
Now let's take a look at what other people have built
with Community Visualizations.
We have an entire section of our report gallery
to show off reports that show off Community Visualizations.
Some of these are also in the partner gallery.
And some of these are just core reports
that use Community Visualizations to tell stories
and insights with your data.
We also have this Visualizations tab
that has the same partner visualizations you saw earlier
in Data Studio, links you to reports that show you
how do you use it, what are some of the options available,
and what are some sample reasons you
might want to use this chart.
So in short, Data Studio Community Visualizations
allow you to create custom components that
integrate seamlessly with your Data Studio dashboards
and expand the possibilities of what
you can do with Data Studio.
