Configuring a sankey diagram in legacy views
Legacy view component
You're currently viewing a topic about a legacy view component in Studio. This component can still be used in legacy Studio views, however we recommend using the visual view editor in the new Studio experience. The updated interface includes drag and drop capabilities, allowing you to easily add components and configure your views.
For more information, see: Views.
Sankey diagrams are used to show weighted networks, i.e. flows. They can be used to visualize Source to End connections: For a total amount, the diagram can show where it comes from and where it ends up, with possible intermediate steps. Alternatively, they can be used to visualize evolution: Nodes are duplicated in two or more groups that represent stages. Connections show the evolution between two states, similar to Chord diagrams.

To configure a basic sankey diagram, the following attributes are available:
Property | Type | Description |
