The Chart: Categories widget displays a bar chart from a data query, with one bar per distinct category. It's a good fit for comparing record counts (or aggregates) across groups, buckets, statuses, owners, or any other categorical dimension.

Configuration

Field	Description
Run this data query	A data query that returns categorical data. The query is responsible for producing the x-axis categories and y-axis values.
Cache	Number of seconds to cache the query results before refetching. Leave blank to run the query on every render.
Format x-axis values as	Optional value formatter: text, number, time elapsed (minutes), or time elapsed (seconds).
Format y-axis values as	Optional value formatter: number, time elapsed (minutes), or time elapsed (seconds).
Chart height	Height in pixels. Leave blank for automatic sizing based on the widget's zone.

For richer chart layouts (stacked bars, multiple series, custom colors), use Chart KATA instead.
