# Chart view

Use a Chart view to compare grouped values visually.

In **Chart view** you can:

* Click **Configure chart** to define how the chart is built.
* Choose a chart type:
  * **Bar chart**
  * **Line chart**
  * **Pie chart**
* Choose a field for the X-axis to define the groups.
  * The X-axis controls how Ninox groups records in the chart.
  * In a pie chart, the X-axis defines the slices.
* Add one or more fields to the Y-axis as data sets.
  * Use numeric fields such as amounts, hours, or ratings.
  * Ninox sums the values for each group.
  * Each data set appears as a separate series in the chart.
  * Use **Add data set** to compare multiple numeric fields in one chart.
  * Assign a color to each data set to distinguish it visually.
  * Remove a data set if you no longer want to include it.
* Turn shared display options on or off:
  * **Show title** displays the chart title at the top.
  * **Show labels** displays labels directly in the chart, depending on the chart type.
  * **Show legend** shows which color belongs to which data set.
  * **Show tooltips** shows values when you move over chart elements.
  * **Show data table** displays the chart values in a table below the chart.
* Use chart-specific options:
  * **Stacked bars** in **Bar chart** combines multiple data sets into one bar per group.
  * **Smooth lines** in **Line chart** displays curved lines instead of straight segments.
  * **Show data points** in **Line chart** marks each individual value on the line.
  * **Donut** in **Pie chart** turns the pie chart into a donut chart.
* Use [**Filter**](#filter-records-in-a-view) to include only the records you want to consider in the chart.

Use **Export chart as image** to download the current chart as an image.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ninox.com/builder-hub/visualize-and-organize-your-data/work-with-views/chart-view.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
