Building a Chart Overview 
--------------------------

After you have the data elements defined for the widget then you
can decide how to reflect the analysis. Just below the **Configure Data**
section is a section defined as **Build Chart**.

Here you have several options to choose from based on the data type.

**Type**: There are 11 chart types exposed that can be
utilized to display your data. (Line/Area Chart,
Column/Bar Chart, Scatter Chart, Pie/Doughnut Chart,
Funnel Chart, Gauge Chart, Card Chart, Table Chart,
Call Hops and SIP Ladder Diagram.) 

Each one has specific rules that apply to certain data elements.
Example: Table data elements over time (i.e. DNS Entries for the day by IP address) will
not display with a gauge type. Each chart type also will bring up specific options that
can be utilized for that chart under the Settings section
