== Tutorial: Create a workpad for monitoring sales
|
|
|
|
To familiarize yourself with *Canvas*, add the Sample eCommerce orders data, then use the data to create a workpad for monitoring sales at an eCommerce store.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Open and set up Canvas
|
|
|
|
To create a workpad of the eCommerce store data, add the data set, then create the workpad.
|
|
|
|
. <<gs-get-data-into-kibana,Install the eCommerce sample data>>.
|
|
|
|
. Go to **Canvas** using the navigation menu or the <<kibana-navigation-search,global search field>>.
|
|
|
|
. Select *Create workpad*.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Customize your workpad with images
|
|
|
|
To customize your workpad to look the way you want, add your own images.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Add element > Image > Image*.
|
|
+
|
|
The default Elastic logo image appears on the page.
|
|
|
|
. Add your own image.
|
|
|
|
.. Click the Elastic logo.
|
|
|
|
.. Drag the image file to the *Select or drag and drop an image* field.

|
|
=== Customize your data with metrics
|
|
|
|
Customize your data by connecting it to the Sample eCommerce orders data.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Add element > Chart > Metric*.
|
|
+
|
|
By default, the element is connected to the demo data, which enables you to experiment with the element before you connect it to your own.
|
|
|
|
. To connect the element to your own data, make sure the element is selected, then click *Data > Demo data > Elasticsearch SQL*.
|
|
|
|
.. To select the total price field and set it to the sum_total_price field, enter the following in the *Query* field:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,text]
|
|
--
|
|
SELECT sum(taxless_total_price) AS sum_total_price FROM "kibana_sample_data_ecommerce"
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Save*.
|
|
+
|
|
All fields are pulled from the sample eCommerce orders {data-source}.
|
|
|
|
. At this point, the element appears as an error, so you need to change the element display options.
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Display*
|
|
|
|
.. From the *Value* dropdowns, make sure *Unique* and *sum_total_price* are selected.
|
|
|
|
.. Change the *Label* to `Total sales`.
|
|
|
|
. The error is gone, but the element could use some formatting. To format the number, use the *Canvas* expression language.
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Expression editor*.
|
|
+
|
|
You're now looking at the raw data syntax that Canvas uses to display the element.
|
|
|
|
.. Change `metricFormat="0,0.[000]"` to `metricFormat="$0a"`.
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Run*.

|
. Click *Add element > Chart > Area*.
|
|
|
|
. Make sure that the element is selected, then click *Data > Demo data > Elasticsearch SQL*.
|

|
|
--
|
|

|
|
--
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Save*.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

=== Show how your data changes over time
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
. Click *Add element > Filter > Time filter*.
|
|
|
|

=== What's next?
|
|
Now that you know the basics, you're ready to explore on your own.
|
|

Here are some things to try:
|
|
|
|
* Play with the {kibana-ref}/add-sample-data.html[sample Canvas workpads].
|
|
|
|
* Build presentations of your own data with <<create-workpads,workpads>>.
|
|
|
|
* Deep dive into the {kibana-ref}/canvas-function-reference.html[expression language and functions] that drive *Canvas*.
