I. Intro
You can add radar charts to dashboards in Base to show the distribution of multiple data sets across different indicators. This allows you to see the relative relationship between indicators and discover the strengths and weaknesses of what you're measuring. For example, you can create a radar chart visualizing how multiple products are performing in different dimensions, or a radar chart showing the development of a team member's skills.
Note: The mobile app (version 7.32 or above) supports viewing of charts only—adding or editing is not supported.

- Value axis (series):
- When data is categorized by Field, you can select a field other than those being used as the Category axis as a Value axis.
- When data is categorized by Record aggregation, you can select Number of records (default) or Field summary.

- Field summary: This can only be selected if there are number fields or formula fields in the table. The available calculation methods include Sum, Max, Min, or Average.
