Check out the below given walk-through on how to use the Pie chart component in Designer module.

The most widely used chart to show proportions, percentages, and categories of information. Users can use the Pie charts mainly to compare various categories. It is better to limit the categories up to 6 or fewer while visualizing them through a pie chart. Generally, Pie charts are used when values or the sum of values meet 100%.

Best Situations to Use a Pie Chart
