The Radial Chart widget is designed to highlight a single KPI in a clear Gauge format. It shows your score in relation to a defined range, so you can instantly see whether performance is on track, falling behind, or exceeding expectations.

Think of it as a single-score snapshot that anyone can interpret at a glance.

Example:
Your Support Head wants to monitor CSAT trends across all active support surveys. With the Radial Chart, you can combine questions from multiple surveys, aggregate the data, and instantly track the average CSAT score against a benchmark, so it’s easy to spot dips or improvements without going through detailed reports.
