Doughnut Chart
A Doughnut Chart is a variation of a Pie Chart where the center is cut out, creating a doughnut-like shape.
A Chart represents the proportion of tasks, logged hours, or time entries, making it easier to visualize parts of a whole.
The chart offers a clear and aesthetic way to show distributions while allowing additional information to be displayed at the center if needed.
It provides insights into how work is divided across users, statuses, projects, or other categories.
