Charts
The Charts page is a standalone library for building and managing reusable chart cards. Every chart created here is stored in your card library and can be added to any dashboard — use this page to browse, create, and maintain those cards without opening a specific dashboard.
Access Charts from the sidebar. Requires the charts:view permission and the dynamic-dashboards feature, available from the Pro plan ([Chapter 17, section 17.1]).
What is a Chart?
In FullSession, a chart is a reusable card — the same kind of widget you build in the dashboard card builder (Chapter 9, section 9.6). Charts created on this page appear in the Add charts panel when composing a dashboard, so you can reuse the same chart across as many dashboards as you like.
The Charts List
The main view is a searchable, paginated table of all charts on your site.
Name
Chart title, optional description, and a chart-type icon
Type
Card type — Metric, Time Series, Breakdown, Pages, and so on
Owner
Email of the team member who created the chart
Updated
Date the chart was last modified
Click any row to open that chart in the builder and edit it.
Searching
Type in the Search by chart name field above the table to filter the list in real time.
Creating a Chart
From a template
A strip of template cards at the top of the page lets you start with a chart type already selected. Click a template to open the chart builder with that type pre-filled.
From scratch
Click Create Chart (top-right) to open the builder with a blank configuration.
The builder is the same one used inside Dashboards (Chapter 9, section 9.6) — choose a measure, aggregation, group-by dimension, visualization, and up to five filtered series, with a live preview that updates as you configure.
Editing a Chart
Click any row in the table to open the chart builder in edit mode. Saving updates the chart everywhere it is used — dashboards that already include the chart reflect the change immediately.
Deleting a Chart
Open the row's actions menu (⋮) and choose Delete. A confirmation dialog warns that the chart will be permanently removed and detached from every dashboard currently using it.
This action cannot be undone.
Previewing a Chart
Click the eye icon on a row to open a read-only preview without entering edit mode.
