Hey @amitta

Event Visualizer is an old app, and will be replaced in the future in later versions.

With event visualizer you can see individual data in linelist format, and aggregate or filter based on attributes and data elements, but in data visualizer you cant do that, and everything is aggregated.

Hope this was understandable.

Thanks for the reply. And just a confirmation: We use Data Visualizer only if we want aggregate results from the tracker data or when using data from Aggregate model

Hi @Caroline,

Following your explanation: Is Data Visualizer used only for aggregate data (data collected through data sets)?

Thanks

Hi @dmbantu

Data collected through tracker programs could still be used in the Data Visualizer app. The difference between Data Visualizer app and Line Listing app is that the Data Visualizer app aggregates the data.
