Links in Big Number charts

Mode's Big Number charts are great for communicating key performance indicators (KPIs). Turning them into links makes it easy for your audience to explore the underlying factors impacting the result. You can link to other reports in Mode or external URLs.

Add the stylesheet link and script tag to the top of the HTML:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://mode.github.io/alamode/alamode.min.css">
<script src="https://mode.github.io/alamode/alamode.min.js"></script>

This tag calls back to an open-source library called alamode.js, which provides an easy way to build some of our users' favorite visualizations.

Add the customizable snippet at the bottom of the HTML:

<script>

  alamode.addLinkToBigNumber(
    {
  	  "chart_id":"chart_f43a83a9936c",
  	  "url": "https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat"
	}
  )
  
</script>
