# Building and managing charts in dashboards

## How to build a chart

Each dashboard contains charts displaying various metrics, which enables you to gain a comprehensive insight into your campaign and application performance. A dashboard can have up to 10 charts.

1. To add a chart, click **Add Chart** in the Dashboard Builder.

2. In the Chart Widget that opens, provide a descriptive and clear chart name that accurately represents the data it contains. You can always edit the chart name later if necessary.

### Selecting metrics

In the **Metrics** section, choose the specific metrics you need to monitor. You can select up to five metrics to display in a single chart. This allows for a comprehensive view of multiple data points simultaneously.

All the metrics available are divided into the following groups:

* **Communication Metrics** that offer insights into the performance of various communication channels. [Learn more](/product/statistics-and-analytics/dashboards/metrics/#communication-metrics)
* **Audience Metrics** that provide insights into your application's audience. [Learn more](/product/statistics-and-analytics/dashboards/metrics/#audience-metrics)
* **Finance Metrics** that reflect Stripe transaction data (revenue and subscriptions) attributed to your Pushwoosh campaigns. [Learn more](/product/statistics-and-analytics/dashboards/metrics/#finance-metrics)
* **Events Metrics** that allow you to understand user behavior by examining event-related metrics. [Learn more](/product/statistics-and-analytics/dashboards/metrics/#events)
* **Tags Metrics** that allow you to understand the reach and distribution of tags across your user base [Learn more](/product/statistics-and-analytics/dashboards/metrics/#tags)

You can mix and match metrics from different groups to tailor your chart to your needs.

### Visualization

Dashboard Builder supports several types of visualizations, including:

* **Lines** – Ideal for trend analysis over time.
* **Bars** – Useful for comparing values across categories.
* **Pie** – Best for displaying percentage breakdowns.

At the top of the page, specify the period or set a custom period. You can also specify the interval at which your data is displayed: Daily or Hourly for periods up to 30 days and Daily or Monthly for longer periods.

For a more in-depth analysis of your data, refer to the [Filters](/product/statistics-and-analytics/dashboards/filters/)
and [Breakdowns](/product/statistics-and-analytics/dashboards/breakdowns/) sections.
