Make smart decision with business intelligence charts

A lot of the data that you store in Knack databases could be used to spot trends, opportunities, and patterns. When charts are built correctly, they offer an opportunity to make smarter decisions backed by the data you collected.

4 ways you could do that:

1. Knack Charts: It's simple, it's quick. The downside is that it's limited to a single object in Knack; so, as long a you've built an object, you can make the most out of Knack charts.

2. A third-party chart library: They are great as they offer options such as geo charts, heat charts, and much more. Most common free libraries are ChartJS, and Google Charts, and paid library DHTMLX. They integrate easily with Knack using JavaScript.

3. Custom made charts: There are times where it makes sense to build your charts in such a way. Using JavaScript you can build a chart with the connections, and calculations as you need them to be.

4. Business intelligence tools: There are some smart software tools out there (ie Tableau, Qlik) that, with some integration work with Knack, could display some pretty interesting charts including prediction charts (AI), and trend charts.
