Add Stacked Area charts to Operational Dashboards to easily visualize work orders by priority, status, group, owner, etc.

KPI trend and comparison are decent for some visualization but when trying to view a "total" work order backlog and have it broken down into groups (like priority or status), a stacked area works beautifully!

    @Guest @Guest Confirming that these are the ones being requested. Note that the bar charts exist today in MAF.
    I am wondering though, how would the Stacked/Grouped bar charts be useful in the KPI tiles? I do not see a use case there. I agree that the Area chart would make sense for the KPI compare and KPI trend. Are you looking for just the "Chart" gallery card to have these available?

    We have Stacked Bar charts in 9.1. We have added stacked area charts in 9.2 code already. I think what is missing however, is the ability to use these chart types outside of the MAF tool (in the Advanced editing panel of the dashboard card editor). This is a good idea and I will promote this to the backlog.

    Grouped bar charts would also be extremely useful!
