Step 5: Add Data
We've added a Pareto Chart Widget to the Mashup, but we still need to bring in backend data.
- Ensure the top-right Data tab is active.

- Click the green + button.

- In the Entity field, search for and select TIPC_Thing.
- In the Services field, type getprop.
- Click the right arrow beside GetProperties.
- On the right, check Execute on Load.

- In the bottom-right of the pop-up, click Done.

- Under the Data tab on the right, expand GetProperties.

- Drag-and-drop Things_TIPC_Thing> GetProperties > InfoTable_Property onto the Pareto Chart.

- On the Select Binding Target pop-up, click Data.

- With the Pareto Chart selected in the central Canvas area, ensure the Properties tab is active in the bottom-left.

- In the Filter field, type xaxis.

- In the XAxisField, search for and select month.

- At the top, click Save.

Step 6: View Mashup
Up to this point, we've created a Data Shape to format the columns of an Info Table Property. You then created a Thing, as well as an Info Table Property formatted by the Data Shape. As a test, you added some manually-entered data to the Info Table. After creating a Mashup, you added a Pareto Chart Widget and tied it to that backend data.
The only thing left to do is to visualize your GUI.
- Ensure that you're on the Design tab of the TIPC_Mashup.

- At the top, click View Mashup.

The end result is a visualization of how each of your main issues contribute to your overall downtime.
In particular, this test data shows that excess_temperature is the primary cause of issues, regardless of month.
You could now connect the backend data-storage to live-data from the robotic welding arm to begin an actual determination of your issues.
