AI Chart generator

The AI Chart generator in Document360 allows you to automatically convert text into various visual formats, such as pie charts and flow charts. This feature streamlines the process of creating charts, eliminating the need for third-party tools and saving time in generating visual aids directly within your articles.

Prerequisites

To use the AI Chart generator, you must meet the following requirements:

• You must have an active subscription to the Eddy AI content suite.

• The AI writer suite must be enabled in your Document360 account.

• Ensure that the text or table you want to convert is within the main body of your article. Text within comments or image captions cannot be used for chart generation.

Creating charts from text

1. In the Advanced WYSIWYG editor, highlight the content you want to turn into a chart.

2. Click the Eddy AI option in the floating bubble menu and select the Generate option from the dropdown menu.

3. Choose the type of chart you want to generate. Available options include Pie chart, Flow chart, and Table.

4. The system will create a chart of the highlighted text based on your selection. If the generated chart is not satisfactory, you can regenerate it up to 10 times. Regenerations are tracked and displayed in tabs, allowing you to review previous versions and select the best one.

5. Once you are satisfied with the generated chart, you can either replace the selected text or insert the chart below the selected text as an image within your article.

NOTE

If the system fails to generate the chart, an error message will be displayed: "No results found. Please revise the content or add more context and try again." You can dismiss the error message by clicking elsewhere on the screen or the close button.

Creating charts from tables

1. Highlight the table you want to convert into a chart.

2. Click the Eddy AI option in the floating bubble menu and select the Generate option from the dropdown menu.

3. Choose the type of chart you want to generate. Available options include Pie chart, Flow chart, Table.

4. The system will create a chart of the highlighted text based on your selection. If the generated chart is not satisfactory, you can regenerate it up to 10 times. Regenerations are tracked and displayed in tabs, allowing you to review previous versions and select the best one.

5. After generating the chart, you can either replace the table or insert the chart below the table as an image.

NOTE

The final generated chart which you use in your article is saved in the Document360 Drive, allowing you to reuse it in other articles if needed.

Customizing charts

After generating a chart, you can customize its appearance using the editing options available for images in Document360:

• Alignment and positioning: Use the bubble menu to adjust the alignment or inline positioning of the chart.

• Edit chart: You can edit the chart using the image editing options in the editor, such as cropping, resizing, or adding annotations.

NOTE

Although the chart cannot be edited directly once inserted into the article, you can undo the action, update the content, and generate a different result, or regenerate the chart using the same text but with a different chart type.

• Undo option: If you accidentally replace content with a generated chart and want to revert, use the Undo (Ctrl+Z) option to restore the original content.

Supported chart types

Document360 currently supports the following chart types:

• Pie charts

  • Use case: Show the distribution of parts within a whole. Useful for visualizing proportions, such as categories, percentages, or data segments.

  • Example: Display the percentage of tasks completed by different team members.

• Flow charts

  • Use case: Map out processes, workflows, or decision sequences. Ideal for illustrating step-by-step procedures or decision trees.

  • Example: Outline the steps involved in a document approval process or a user onboarding workflow.

• Tables

  • Use case: Present structured data for easy comparison. Ideal for displaying data sets, such as comparisons or performance metrics.

  • Example: Compare product features, service levels, or user feedback across different categories.

File naming convention

All generated charts will follow a standardized naming convention. The file name will be AI generated based on context, or the selected content. The file name will be appended with the chart type. For example - sales_data_pie_chart.png.
