Getting started
Once you have organised your data on the Data screen, go to the Charts option in the top menu.
Chart types
Choose your chart type, or leave it as an autochart based on the fields you will add shortly.
If selecting a chart type, browse through the options on the right hand side. You can also access this by clicking the pie graph icon. You may choose to add your fields first (see below) and then choose your chart type.
As you hover over chart types, a description of the type will appear below, as well as colour code based on its suitability based on the fields available.
For details on all the chart types available, refer to 1. Chart Types.

Drag your fields to the boxes available, based on your requirements. These may change if you have chosen a chart type already.
