# Create Infographics

The Results section is where you create customized interactive infographics with animated features.

To access the option to create infographics, start your data pod and go to the *Analysis* panel.

### [Basic navigation](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=basic-navigation) <a href="#basic-navigation" id="basic-navigation"></a>

The *Analysis* panel takes you to the *Results* layer of your data pod.

The *Results* layer is where you code in workbooks and create visualisations in infographics. In this environment, you have an overview of all result entities created within your data pod, grouped by type.

Within the overview panel, infographics are presented in a masonry-style layout. The tiles are ordered by their creation timestamp.

To create a new infographic, click on *Infographic*:

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/create-infographic.png)

You will be redirected to the infographics editor.

From here, you can also select an infographic tile from the list of available *Results* assets.

Click on the infographic tile to enter the infographic editor or click on the available buttons from within your overview panel to perform the designated actions (e.g. remove).

To create charts, you need to have some basic understanding of web assets creation.

### [Infographics editor](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=infographics-editor) <a href="#infographics-editor" id="infographics-editor"></a>

The *Infographics* editor gives you access to cutting-edge web tools to present your information.

The greatest advantage of the infographics editor is that you do not have to care about getting the data from the data pod into the browser. The data pod pushes the selected data into the browser in real time.

The infographics editor will open as follows:

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/waterfall-demo.png)

This panel is split into two main sections. We have the *code panels* on the left-hand side and the *result canvas* on the right-hand side.

#### [Code panels](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=code-panels) <a href="#code-panels" id="code-panels"></a>

The code panels enable you to edit the different components of a web presentation.

You have three separate code tabs. These are HTML/SVG, JavaScript/D3, and CSS. With these three panels, you can create a web presentation without using the data from your data pod. This is how they look like:

[**HTML/SVG code panel**](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=htmlsvg-code-panel)

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/html.png)

[**JavaScript/D3 code panel**](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=javascriptd3-code-panel)

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/java.png)

[**CSS code panel**](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=css-code-panel)

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/css.png)

[**Add data from your data pod**](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=add-data-from-your-data-pod)

To use the data from your Pod, you need the *Data* tab. Here you also have an *Add Data* button:

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/add-data.png)

To render the data from your data pod, you can add data manually or import a workbook card result in your environment and keep it updated in real-time. Click on *Add Data*.

The popup window allows you to select from the entities available from within your data pod:

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/add-data-popup.png)

Once you have made your selection, these items are added to your dropdown menu. From here, you can select the item that you need.

The *Draw Graph* button in the upper right-hand corner of the infographic editor may be *disabled* ![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/disabled.png) or *enabled* ![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/enabled.png) depending on whether you can extract an infographic from that entity.

The way you create web assets is similar to what you can find on [jsfiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/) or [codepen](https://codepen.io/).

To execute the code, i.e. to re-render the *Result Canvas*, simply hit the *Draw Graph* button or the key command *Cmd+E/Alt+E* (Mac / Other).

> The code is executed in a `<iframe>` so that it cannot destabilize the data pod app or the app in which you have embedded the infographics.

#### [Result canvas](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=result-canvas) <a href="#result-canvas" id="result-canvas"></a>

This is where you see the outcome of your infographic.

The *result canvas* has an `<iframe>` element into which all the web assets are rendered. A log panel displays errors or your `console.log()` output.

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/result-canvas.png)

### [Publish infographics](https://docs.record-evolution.de/#/en/Repods/infographs?id=publish-infographics) <a href="#publish-infographics" id="publish-infographics"></a>

You can host your infographics right from your data pod.

The infographics will then be available on the web via a secret URL. Only individuals who have the URL will be able to view the infographic and/or forward it to others.

You can view the URL of the infographics if you check the *Public* checkbox as shown above and click on the *Embed* icon that will display the embed code as shown below:

![](https://docs.record-evolution.de/en/Repods/media/infographs/embedd.png)

The infographics hosted in your data pod receive data updates in real time.

*Note that the infographics will not be available under the given URL while the data pod is stopped.*
