Abstract
A method of ranking data visualizations is performed at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. A user selects a set of data fields from a set of data. The computing device identifies a plurality of data visualizations based on the data fields selected by the user. For each of the plurality of data visualizations, a score is computed based on a set of ranking criteria. A first ranking criterion of the set of ranking criteria is based on values of one or more of the user-selected data fields in the set of data. A ranked list of the data visualizations is created, which is ordered according to the computed scores of the data visualizations. The ranked list is presented to the user.
