Rights: the Read right on Custom reports to display a report as a chart. Setting which view a report opens on is part of configuring it and takes an administrator.

Overview
The chart view draws the report you already built: it reuses its rows, its column and its KPIs rather than offering a separate set of dimensions and metrics, so what you choose here is the shape, not the data.

- Set the axes. Pick the field for X-axis and one or more metrics for Y-axis (up to 4), plus one or more metrics on Secondary Y-axis (up to 4). Nothing is drawn until at least one metric sits on Y-axis, which is the usual reason a chart area stays empty.
- Fill in what your chart type adds.
- A donut chart takes its categories from the field on X-axis and draws one donut per metric on Y-axis.
- A scatter plot replaces the secondary axis with a Horizontal axis field.
- A bubble chart adds a Size field, and stays empty until you set it.
- Save the view. Click on
Saveto choose which view (Table or Chart) will be displayed by default when opening the report.
