Working With Charts in Insight

With Insight, you can choose individual fields for the buckets that you add. Whether you added fields into the buckets before running Insight or left them empty, creating a chart in Insight is streamlined to allow you to easily create a dynamic chart in real time. It also provides you with the flexibility of interactive comparison as you change your data selections rapidly and adjust the options for display.

You can use the default vertical bar chart or you can specify a different chart type using the Chart Picker in the Options toolbar.

In addition, you can re-order the display of fields in your chart. This allows you to change the placement of a particular field, giving you control over where the data for this component displays in your chart.
