Add a chart created in a model-driven app to a webpage

Article
04/27/2023

You add a chart to a webpage by using a Liquid tag named Chart. You can add the chart Liquid tag in:

The Copy field on a webpage.
In the Source field on a web template.

For example, to show leads by source and filtered for only open leads view:

<!—Leads by Source – Open Leads -->
{% chart id:"EE3C733D-5693-DE11-97D4-00155DA3B01E" viewid:"00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001006" %}

Important

You must specify the values for both the chart id and the viewid parameters to render a chart on a webpage.

Get the ID of a chart

Go to the target entity, for example, Sales > Leads.
Expand the Charts area.
Choose the chart you want.
Select More Commands, and then select Export Chart.
Open the XML file of the exported chart in a text editor.
Copy the value of the <visualizationid> tag.

Paste the visualizationid value into your Liquid chart tag declaration for the chart ID parameter, for example:

<!—Leads by Source – Open Leads -->
{% chart id:"EE3C733D-5693-DE11-97D4-00155DA3B01E" viewid:"xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" %}

Now that the Liquid chart tag declaration has the chart ID, follow the next steps to get the view ID.

Get the ID of a view

You must open the view editor to get the view ID to be used with the Liquid chart tag.

Go to make.powerapps.com and select the appropriate environment.
In the left navigation bar, select Data > Entities.
Select the appropriate table and go to 'Views' tab.
You can see the list of views. Go to options (...) and select 'Edit View'.
Copy the id value from the View window's address bar.

Paste this ID into your Liquid chart tag declaration for the viewid parameter, for example:

<!—Leads by Source – Open Leads -->
{% chart id:"EE3C733D-5693-DE11-97D4-00155DA3B01E" viewid:"00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001004" %}

Table permission requirement

Read privilege is asserted for the target table being queried in the chart. For anonymous or authenticated users to be able to view the chart, you must ensure that the appropriate Table Permissions are created and assigned to applicable web roles.

If permission isn't granted, the user will see an access denied message.

Other considerations

Long labels on Horizontal (Category) Axis Label can get overlapped when using a high number of data points on the chart.
Hovering over currency data types formatting shows values with spaces instead of separators.
Numeric fields are currently shown in decimal format.
Horizontal Axis values can show only up-to 15 Labels.
