Charts Overview
The Charts tab provides a centralized view for visualizing analytics and operational data from your devices and workflows. Data is organized into workspaces — each workspace can contain multiple charts.
Workspaces
A workspace is a named dashboard that groups related charts together. You must create at least one workspace before you can add charts.
Existing workspaces are listed in the left panel. You can search by name, sort by newest, oldest, or alphabetically, and filter by All, Starred, or Private. Use the / key to quickly focus the search field.
Workspace visibility
Workspace visibility is managed by admin users. Each workspace can be set to:
- Public — Visible to all organization members who have a chart role
- Private — Visible only to specific users you select
See Create a Workspace for details on managing visibility.
Chart types
Charts can visualize data in several formats:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Bar | Standard vertical bar chart. Best for comparing discrete values across categories. |
| Bar Stacked | Bar chart where multiple metrics are stacked. Useful for comparing part-to-whole relationships. |
| Line | Continuous line chart. Best for trends over time. |
| Area | Filled area chart. Similar to line but emphasizes volume beneath the curve. |
| Area Stacked | Stacked area chart for comparing cumulative contributions of multiple metrics over time. |
| Radar | Radial chart for comparing multiple metrics against a common scale. |
| Large Number | Displays a single aggregated value in large text. Best for KPI/summary tiles. |
| Table | Tabular raw data view with sortable columns and pagination. |
Multiple chart types can be composed on a single chart — for example, showing a bar for one metric and a line for another on the same axes.
See Chart Types Reference for a detailed breakdown of each type.
What you can do with charts
Once a workspace is set up, charts let you:
- Monitor skill output values over time (e.g., detection counts, processing latency)
- Track calculated metrics built from custom SQL expressions
- Group and filter data by workflow, device, skill, tag, or location
- Compare segments using data grouping
- Drill down into raw data using the Data Table View
- Export chart data to a file
- Control how time is displayed: granularity, timezone sync, interpolation, and day/hour filters
Permissions
Access to charts is controlled by your organization role:
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access: create, edit, delete, and manage workspace visibility |
| Chart Editor | Can create, edit, and delete workspaces and charts |
| Chart Viewer | Read-only access — can view charts but cannot create or modify them |
If you don't see the Add Workspace or Add Chart buttons, your account may be set to Chart Viewer. Contact your administrator to request elevated access.
