View Chart Details

Clicking on a chart from the Charts list view opens it in detail. The chart may take a few seconds to load as it pulls the most up-to-date data from your system. Each chart is built on a data source and displays your selected metrics in the visualization type assigned to it.

The chart view is divided into three main areas. On the left is the Chart Source panel, which shows the dataset powering the chart along with the available metrics and columns you can work with. In the middle are the Data and Customize tabs, where you can adjust the query settings, such as time range, filters, and aggregation method, and update how the chart looks. On the right, the Results and Samples tabs allow you to preview the underlying data behind the visualization, giving you a closer look at the records and values driving the chart.

The following actions are available when viewing chart details.
