Sunburst

Use sunburst visuals to display up to three levels of hierarchical data in a circle format.

The topmost hierarchical data shown in the center of the sunburst, and the secondary levels are shown in levels further out from the center. You can include a third level of hierarchical data by enabling Enable Level 3 Group in the settings sidebar menu of the visual.

Sorting Data in a Sunburst Visual

Data in your visual is sorted Top of the Top if only two groups are included in the visual.

When you add a third group by enabling Enable Level 3 Group, simple sort is used instead.

   Colour Palette	If a colour palette is specified for this visual type in the data source defaults, select the colour palette for this specific visual. If a colour range is selected for KPI visuals in the data source defaults, this setting is not available. Select the Inherit from theme checkbox to use the colour palette specified by the theme.
   Colour Mode	Select Distinct Colours or Gradient to identify the way colours are used on the screen. Either specific distinct colours will be used or a gradient of colours will be used.
