How to build Funnel Chart components

The Funnel Chart component shows your data moving through a number of stages in a process.  The data is displayed either as one value for each stage of the process, or as a conversion percentage, or both. This component is ideal for Marketing and Sales data, such as lead sales to conversion, or any other value that can be broken down categorically and compared to the big picture. Here is an example of a funnel chart.

How do I customize a funnel chart?

When building a funnel chart, you have several customization options including:

Displaying conversion rates as a percentage

When setting your labels, you can include a conversion option to show you a percentage based on either the first stage or the previous stage of the process.

You can select one of three Conversion options:

  • Don't show.
  • As a % of the first stage.
  • As a % of the previous stage.

If you select the conversion option As a % of the first stage all stages are calculated on the first stage of the process. For example,

  • the first stage displays as 100%
  • the second stage displays as a percentage of the first stage
  • the third stage displays as a percentage of the second stage
  • and so on

To display Conversion percentages:

  1. Select Funnel Chart in the component tree.
  2. In the Properties Panel, at Labels, uncheck Show values.
  3. From the Conversion drop-down, select your conversion option.

Applying different colors

You can highlight the different stages of the process by assigning each stage a different color.

  1. Select the Funnel Chart component from the Component Tree.
  2. From the Properties panel, at Stage Colors, select Override the default colors.
  3. Select the color you want to change and choose a new color from the pop-up.
  4. Optionally, use the + and - buttons to add or remove colors.
  5. When you’re done with your Klip, click Save and Exit.

To adjust the chart height and label font size:

  1. Select Funnel Chart in the component tree.
