Note: Charts can be added only to custom views. You cannot add them to built-in views.

To add a chart to a view:

Select the view menu and choose New Chart.
An empty chart is added to the view. If an existing chart in the view is already selected, the new chart is added immediately below it.

Note: You can also create a chart in the view by dragging a metric from the Metric Browser to an empty area in the view, or by copying or moving a chart from a different view. For more information, see Add metrics to a chart and Copy or move charts.
Set chart properties. The default chart type is a line plot, but you can change to a different type as follows:
1. Select the chart menu.
2. Select Chart Type, and choose the type of chart you want to use. For details about the available charts, see Choose the chart type.
You can change the default chart type for all active views by using the Dashboard Preferences dialog box. For information, see Set global chart properties.
