Sparklines

Sparklines are compact, inline charts that show trends or variations in a single metric across a sequence—often embedded in tables or dashboards. They help you visualize data patterns across multiple rows without taking up much space.

Use sparklines to highlight time-based trends or fluctuations next to detailed records, providing immediate context within your data table.

Example use cases

example

• Sales trends by product: Show monthly or quarterly sales for each product in a list.
• Inventory monitoring: Visualize stock level changes over time to spot trends or anomalies.
