Charts provide visual representations of the data in your data source. A chart maps to a single data source, and it can display correlations between several fields in the data. Charts reside inside dashboards. Unless you create a chart from the Atlas UI, you must create a dashboard before you can begin building charts.

For a complete list of available chart types and how to build specific charts, refer to the Chart Types page.

You can create a chart from the Dashboards page in Charts or from the Atlas UI.

Note

If the preview for a chart of the full dataset takes a while to load, you can preview a subset of the data with the Subset toggle.
