The Change Visualization dialog box is displayed, with an icon displayed next to the visualization recommended based on the data in your quick dashboard. The icons of visualizations that cannot be created using the report objects in the quick dashboard's dataset (or using the report objects you selected, if you are creating a visualization using a specific group of report objects) are displayed in grey. You can hover the cursor over a visualization's icon to view information about the visualization's dataset requirements.

  3. Click the icon of the visualization you want to use to display your data. The visualization is automatically created and added using the report objects in your quick dashboard.

    Some visualizations can be displayed using different subtypes. For example, if you want to represent your data as a bar graph, you can choose to display it as a vertical bar graph or a horizontal bar graph. Click the icon of the visualization you want to create, then click the icon for the subtype you want to use to display your data. For a list of the subtypes for each of the visualizations available, see About visualizations.
