Custom Visualizations

Omni supports the most common visualization types and settings out of the box, but can also be heavily customized! We use VegaLite under the hood, which means you can edit and customize the visualization however you'd like by using the Advanced Editor. Check out the full VegaLite spec as well as examples.

Approaching the Vega Editor

Omni defines Vega specification behind all charts. By reaching into the configuration, charts can be tuned to unlock anything available in Vega. Extensive examples are available here.

To reference Omni fields in the Vega spec, periods and brackets need to be escaped. This requires a double forward-slash as follows:

  • Omni object --> Vega object
  • users.id --> users\\.id
  • users.age --> users\\.age
  • users.created_at --> users\\.created_at
  • users.created_at[date] --> users\\.created_at\\[date\\]
  • users.created_at[month] --> users\\.created_at\\[month\\]
  • id --> id note 'id' would only occur from a raw SQL query, as Omni will alias with the view

Saving Custom Visualization

To avoid jumpiness on the page, custom visualization need to save explicitly to update the URL (think of edits to the spec as drafts). To save a custom visualization for sharing, simply hit save and the specification will be coupled to the query URL.

iframe Custom Visualizations

Another way to create a custom visualization is leveraging an iframe tag in the markdown tiles. The data in results + postMessages will render your custom iframes and provide a ton of flexibility.

The pattern is:

  <iframe scr = "https://example.html"> </iframe>

Some current limitations for this method is that these images won't render if they are scheduled and the creator must host the file somewhere outside Omni.

Visualization Spec Library

Below, we've included several custom examples of Vega specs in Omni, eventually we'll add links to live examples.

US Map Example (State)

Query Fields:

  • users.state Note: full-length state names are required for this visualization. To remove the legend from this visualization, add "legend":null within color{...

Cross Filtered Chart Pair

The visualization aggregates the top visualization over the highlight selection. Mainly a proof of concept for highly interactive vis. We essentially build two charts from the data table, stack them, and wire them together. Note also this vis uses pixel sizing, which is not ideal for use on dashboards (where "container" should be used for sizing).

Query Fields:

  • order_items.created_at[date] filtered to 2021, the x-axis
  • products.category filtered to five products, forming the color facets
  • order_items.sale_price_sum the y-axis
  • order_items.count the bubble size

Flag Marks Scatterplot

Careful

This will not render through the scheduler

The chart uses data about each country's economy, along with emojis representing the flag. There are several other measures available that are not visualized in the chart. Here we are simply swapping the mark for text (the emoji), and created a normal scatterplot otherwise. We also have some small transformations on the axes to use log-scale.

Query Fields:

  • flag
  • name (country name)
  • rank
  • gdp
  • growth
  • population
  • gdp_per_capita
  • gdp_percent_share

Waterfall

This chart requires both a custom visualization spec and some query munging. We can probably make this a bit simpler, but it's instructive for now on how flexible querying plus custom vis can be. Here we simulate some change data state by state and then append special bars for the start and finish values. This can probably become dynamic in the future. The data is mashed together via a simple SQL union. Note there is also quite a bit of calculation in the Vega spec, showing the ability to extend the basic data set to enhance the vis.

Query Fields:

  • label
  • value

Unioned Queries

  • Begin row: start value, must be named 'Begin' for label, this can be replaced with the first value from the data set in the future
  • Waterfall data set: usually easiest to build with UI and drop in the SQL or via a SQL block
  • End row: value must be 0, must be named 'End', this can be replaced in the future since it's all implied

Boxplot

Boxplot is calculated using the distribution over a data set, so in this example, we actually upped the row limit to 50k results using SQL. Our example has several retail categories and the prices of goods in each category. The plot then build some summary statistics over the distribution of each category.

Query Fields:

  • category
  • retail_price

}
}

Heatmap

This chart is actually out of the box, but can be tricky, so we're including it here. To build this heatmap, simply add dimensions to both X and Y axes, using your measure in color. In this case week is on the X-axis, and day of week is on the Y-axis, with sales on color.

Query Fields:

  • week
  • day_of_week
  • sales_price_sum

Tapered Funnel

This chart is for measuring a funnel with several filtered measures. It calculates both overall drop-off and step-by-step dropoff. The vis can be tweaked to more or fewer stages by editing the fold section and then the subsequent steps below, removing the backticks - ie. users\\.count then "measurename": "users.count".

Query Fields:

  • users.count
  • users.count_california_seniors
  • users.count_minors
  • users.count_california_minors

Gantt Charts (Timeline Charts)

This chart takes advantage of x, x2 in Vega to create a start and end point for bars along a timeline for each user. It also includes a small bit of config to improve the axis labels. Color could be including in an additional facet, using one more dimension to group different users together.

Query Fields:

  • users.full_name
  • users.created_at[date]
  • order_items.created_at[date]
{
"mark": "bar",
"encoding": {
"y": {
"field": "users\\.full_name",
"type": "ordinal",
"axis": {
"title": "Name"
}
},
"x": {
"field": "users\\.created_at\\[date\\]",
"type": "temporal",
"axis": {
"title": "Date"
}
},
"x2": {
"field": "order_items\\.created_at\\[date\\]",
"type": "temporal"
}
}
}

Isotope (Stacked Icons)

This chart is a bit different than most because it needs the full granularity in the data set to create the stacked icons. There are likely more intelligent ways to build this on top of grouped data, but out of scope with this example. This example is also contrived and grouped email domains with icons. The core technique is mapping the repeated values into icons, then stacking them. Note that users.id is included in order to create one entry per row.

Query Fields:

  • users.email_domain
  • users.id
{
"mark": {
"type": "text",
"baseline": "middle"

"width": "container",

Word Cloud

Change the following values in the custom visualization code:

  • "field" values should match the values in the table
  • adjust the "range" to fit your query
  • adjust the "domain" to fit your query

Results tab example:

Example SQL:
SELECT category, count(*) AS frequency, random() * (0.9 - 0.1) + 0.1 AS height, random() AS width
FROM products
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 2 DESC
LIMIT 25;

Symmetric Funnel (Fixed Size) -- Markdown Visualization

This visualization is built on having multiple measures, which are then swapped rows and columns, with a calculation built to get stage by stage conversion metrics (e.g. in Cell C2, put the formula =B2/B1.
