Charts are created inside a panel. Open the panel where the chart should appear, then select Add Chart or Create Chart from the empty state.

  3. Choose Smart Insights.
  4. Review the available insight cards.

If an insight has already been added to the panel, it appears as Already Added and cannot be added again from the same picker.


Use Custom Builder when you want to choose the chart structure yourself.

  1. Open a panel.

  3. Choose Custom Builder.
  4. Enter a Chart Title.
  5. Select a Data Source.
  6. Select the X Axis.

The Create Chart button is available after all required fields are selected.


Use Request Chart when the visualization you need is not available in Smart Insights or Custom Builder.

  1. Select Request Chart.
  2. Describe the chart in Chart Description.
  3. Submit the request.

The description must be at least 50 characters. Hawzu shows the character count while you type.
