Master the Bulk Chart Maker

The Bulk Engine is a powerful feature for creating dozens of pendulum dowisng charts from a single data source. This guide is perfect for practitioners, researchers, and creators who want to automate their workflow.

1. The Interface

Access the Bulk Engine by clicking the Bulk Engine button in the Studio. The interface is split into two main columns: Configuration & Input on the left, and Live Preview & Export on the right.

2. Data Input Methods

The Bulk Engine is flexible, supporting several ways to get your data into the system. Each row in your data represents one complete chart.

A Upload Excel or CSV

Click the "Upload CSV/Excel" button or simply drag and drop your file into the empty state area. We support .xlsx, .csv, and .txt files.

B Interactive Table View

When you upload an Excel file, the engine displays your data in a spreadsheet-like Interactive Table. You can click any cell to edit it directly—perfect for fixing typos or tweaking labels without leaving the Studio.

C AI Prompt Helper

Click the AI Helper button to get a pre-formatted prompt. Paste this into Gemini or ChatGPT to generate structured chart data for any topic, then paste the result into the text area.

3. Data Structure Explained

Each row of data follows a specific structure. The engine uses a Smart Delimiter system to detect your format automatically.

Title, Theme, Size, Font, Layer 1 Labels, Layer 2 Labels, ...

Pro Tip: Delimiter Magic

Excel (.xlsx): Use simple commas to separate labels within a cell (e.g., Yes, No, Maybe).
CSV/Text: Use the pipe character (|) to separate labels (e.g., Yes | No | Maybe).

Example Row:

Healing Affirmations, celestial, 20, 'Poppins', Love|Gratitude|Peace, Health|Wealth|Joy
  • Title: The chart's main heading.
  • Theme: The color palette name (e.g., midnight, mint).
  • Layer Columns: Subsequent columns define each ring.

4. Batch Configuration

Set global overrides that apply to every chart in the batch. If an override is set to "Use CSV Column", the engine looks at your data; otherwise, it forces the global setting.

  • Layout: Force Full Circle, Half Circle, or use Randomize for variety.
  • Themes: Apply a single theme (like Eco-Mode) to the entire batch.
  • Auto-Wrap: Enable or disable smart text wrapping globally.

5. Preview & Dowsing

Click "Process & Preview Data" to generate your batch. The engine automatically filters out empty rows (Auto-Clean).

  1. Live Preview: Cycle through charts with the navigation arrows. Any changes to batch settings are reflected instantly.
  2. Fullscreen Dowsing: Click the Dowsing Mode icon to enter a distraction-free view. You can navigate through your entire batch using the on-screen arrows while dowsing.
  3. Edit Current: Need a specific change? Click "Edit Current" to load that chart's data directly into the main Studio workspace.

6. High-Fidelity Export

When you're ready, the engine handles the heavy lifting of rendering and packaging.

  • UHD Quality: Charts are rendered at ultra-high resolution (2400px+) for professional printing.
  • Transparency: All charts are exported as transparent PNGs, making them perfect for layering into documents or websites.
  • Instant ZIP: The "Export All (ZIP)" button generates a single compressed file containing your entire batch, named with the current date and time.

Pro Tips & Tricks

The Excel Workflow

For large projects, always use Excel. It's much easier to manage labels in columns. Use the "Download Template" button in the Bulk Engine to get started with the correct headers.

Customizing the AI Prompt

When using the AI Helper, you can modify the [INSERT TOPIC HERE] part to be very specific. Try: "A 4-layer chart for identifying specific environmental toxins in a home" for highly detailed results.

Eco-Friendly Batches

If you're printing dozens of charts, set the Theme Override to Eco-Mode. This forces a high-contrast black and white style that saves significant printer ink while maintaining clarity.
