Create a chart

Charts are the heart of almost any Amplitude analysis. To create a new chart, click Create > Chart, then select a new chart type from the Charts fly-out.

Restrictions

This feature is limited for users on Starter plans.

• Organizations on a Starter plan can save up to ten charts.
• Organizations on a Starter plan can query up to one year of data.
• Organizations on a Plus plan can query up to two years of data.

For a high-level overview of each chart type, refer to the overview of charts and features.

Find and add relevant events, properties, and user segments for your chart to generate useful information. Follow those links to learn more about those elements of an Amplitude analysis. You can also start from a pre-built template instead.

To save your chart, click Save.

When you save your chart for the first time, fill in all the relevant information in the Save modal that appears. Give your chart a name and description, add it to a dashboard or notebook, and specify whether others in your organization can find and view your dashboard.

After you save your chart, the More drop-down menu offers several options for managing and working with your chart:

• Unlisted: This option lets other members of your organization find your chart. Note that admins and managers can always find saved charts, whether they're listed or unlisted.
• Open Notebook View: This opens the notebook fly-out panel, where you can preview your chart in notebook format. You can also add your chart to a notebook from here by selecting the notebook you want and clicking + Add chart to notebook.
• Export: This lets you share your chart as a PNG, PDF, CSV, or shared link.
• Save As: This lets you save a new copy of your chart.
• Move: This lets you move your chart to a different space or folder.
• Copy: This opens a copy of your chart in a new browser tab.
• Revert: This restores the most recently saved version of this chart.
• Archive: Archive a chart when it's no longer relevant to your analyses. Users can still search for archived charts in Search. Archiving a chart disables all shared links associated with that chart. When you un-archive the chart, the shared links reactivate.

After you populate a chart with data, you can zoom in by dragging diagonally across the chart to create a rectangle over the section you want to view in more detail. Restore the full view by clicking Reset zoom.

Next: Keep your work organized with spaces.
