The Interactive charts app allows us to create and export visualizations created from Fitch's data.
Upon selecting it, we arrive to a menu with previously created charts. To draw a new one choose Select entities / geographies.
For the purposes of this example we will select (using League Tables) a previously created portfolio of Slovenian banks. Entities can also be selected manually by typing the name/ticker/identifier etc. (Entities), or by choosing a geographic region (Geographies).
When we are satisfied with the selection, we click on Proceed.
Then choose the data to be shown. This can be done by typing in the marked window below or by navigating the categories and subcategories to find it and then ticking it. Again, we select Proceed at the bottom.
This is followed by selecting the date range — let us show the data for the last 5 years on a yearly basis. It is also possible to show the estimates for up to 10 years in the future. Again, choose Proceed.
Now choose the chart type — in this case this will be a set of multiple diagrams. Using the options from Refine and Annotate we can additionally customize the chart.
Under the available types of charts at the Chart Type we also have available the option transpose the data, which can be useful in case that the data gets displayed in a different way that we expected. In the example below this would cause that pie charts to be shown at the level of individual companies instead of years.
When the chart is finished, we can export it by clicking on More. Download PNG will save the chart as an image, while Download Excel will create a new Excel file, but only containing the data table used to draw the charts.
The chart will also get saved on the server and will be later available to examine or edit at Data Tools -> Interactive Charts.
