Line charts, for change over time.
Track a score across iterations or cohort periods, with as many named series and dashed benchmark overlays as the comparison needs.
Six quarters, one climbing line.
The same engagement pulse, re-run every quarter. This cohort's overall score (solid) climbs from 62 to 79 across six iterations, pulling clear of the company average (dashed) it started level with. The faint cobalt line is the seeded target of 80 — close now, not yet reached.
Because iterations share the benchmark model, that target and the company average ride along with the trend automatically as each new round closes — no re-plotting by hand.
Reach for line when the story is trend.
Ascent's LineChart component takes either a single series or several named series sharing an ordered category axis — the natural fit for iteration tracking, where the categories are assessment cycles rather than static groups. Because it shares the same benchmark model as every other chart type, a seeded target or a rolling average can ride alongside the trend without extra plumbing.
Iteration tracking
Plot the same section, theme, or overall score across repeated assessment cycles — quarterly pulse checks, annual reviews, repeated certifications — to show real change over time.
Cohort trend comparison
Multiple named series on one category axis let you compare how different cohorts or departments are trending against the same timeline.
Progress toward a target
A dashed seeded-target benchmark line alongside the actual trend shows a respondent or team exactly how far they are from a goal, iteration by iteration.
Built for the long view.
Every option below is available on the same tile, without exporting data to a separate tool.
Smooth or linear, filled or not
Toggle curve smoothing for a softer trend line, and an area fill under the primary series to emphasize magnitude alongside direction.
Single series or many
Pass one data series for a simple trend, or several named series sharing the same category axis to compare cohorts, teams, or repeated instruments directly.
Dashed benchmarks, real drilldown
Up to three benchmark lines render dashed by default to stay visually distinct from actual results, and every point — actual or benchmark — is a click-through target.
Cohorts make the trend meaningful.
Line charts pair naturally with Ascent's cohort and iteration tracking — group respondents into a cohort once, then let every repeated cycle append a new point automatically. Culture and organizational-health programs lean on this to show whether an intervention actually moved the needle between pulses.
Show the trend, not just the score.
