# Graph

The Graph channel provides a **feedback mechanism** to players based on the choices they take. It's a tool that allows you to **visualise and communicate key data trends** during an exercise. It can be used for stock prices, website views, campaign donations etc.

## Designing

### How to (Injects)

<figure><img src="/files/A5YA7fTWT3XDb87qEQ9B" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a new inject

Change the channel to Graph.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select the audience

Who do you want to send the inject to? This may be role or team orientated.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select which number the Graph should chart

To work with a Variable you'll need to use Calculations somewhere else in the scenario but adding a number is the simplest way.&#x20;
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Send Graph injects to respond to player choice throughout the exercise to develop the graph.
{% endhint %}

### How to (Configuration)

Go to `Configuration` > `Player desktop` > `Graph` > see Chart type to choose a *Line* or *Bar* chart and to label the axis.
