Output & Multi-Series

How to create tabs, multi-line charts, and stacked bars using multiple Output nodes

The Output node is the last step in every pipeline. One Output gives you a simple chart. Add more Output nodes to build multi-line charts, stacked bars, or tabbed lists.

Output

Output name

page_views

Final query result for this chart

Output settings

Setting	Description
Output name	Label for this series in the legend (or tab name on list charts)
Icon set	Optional icons next to each row (list charts only)
Nest by	Split rows into nested sections by field or custom delimiter (list and pie charts)
Delimiter	Character or string used to split values when nesting by a custom pattern

The output name matters most. It shows up in the chart legend or as a tab title on list charts. Leave it blank on a single-output chart and it defaults to "Output". With multiple outputs, unnamed series are numbered automatically ("Output 1", "Output 2", and so on).

Multiple outputs

When a flow has more than one Output node, each one runs as its own pipeline. The results are merged so the chart can show several series at once.

Ordering

Output nodes are ordered by where they sit on the canvas. The leftmost Output becomes the first series, the next one becomes the second, and so on.

Place Output nodes left to right on the canvas to control series order.

Multi-line charts

To compare two metrics over time (for example, page views and unique visitors):

Create two pipelines, each starting with a Data Source node
Add a Time Group node to each (use the same interval)
Add an Aggregate node to each (for example, count on one and distinct on the other)
End each pipeline with its own Output node
Give each one a name (for example, "Page Views" and "Unique Visitors")

Both pipelines run together. Each time bucket gets both values as separate lines on the chart.

Stacked bar charts

Stacked bars work like multi-line charts: use multiple Output nodes and set the chart type to Bar. The chart type decides whether series render as lines or stacked bars.

Build two or more pipelines with Group By and Aggregate
End each with a named Output node
Set the chart type to Bar

Series stack in the same order as your Output nodes on the canvas.

Tabbed lists

On list charts, multiple Output nodes become tabs instead of overlapping series. Each Output is its own tab.

Build a separate pipeline for each tab
Name each Output node with the tab label (for example, "Browsers" or "Countries")
Set the chart type to List

Each output name becomes a tab header. Pipelines run independently, and each tab shows its own result set.

Tips

Disconnected outputs are ignored. If an Output node is not wired to anything, it will not appear in the chart.
Pipelines can be shared. Multiple Output nodes can connect to the same upstream nodes, so you do not always need to duplicate the whole flow.
Widget charts use one pipeline only. Extra Output nodes are ignored for widget chart types.
