     In some cases, you might want to create multiple charts for the same data displayed in different ways. One way to do that is to copy a chart then change the chart type after you paste it from the clipboard. Another way is to change the chart type and then use :guilabel:`Save as` to save it as a new chart, preferably with a new name. See :ref:`copy-charts` for more information.

-The chart type you choose here is applied as a default to all the plots on the chart, but you can choose a different visualization type for individual plots. See :ref:`plot-config-panel`.
-
-To customize a chart, see :ref:`chart-options-tab`.
-
-.. _single-value-chart-type:
-
-Use single value charts
------------------------
-
-Choose this chart type when you want to see a single number in a large font that represents the current value of a single data point on a plot line. If the time period is in the past, the number represents the value of the metric near the end of the time period.

-     :alt: This screenshot shows a single value chart illustrating the number of hosts with the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector installed.
-
-.. caution::
-
-   To display an accurate value, the plot must use an aggregate analytics function that generates a single value for each data point on the chart, such as Mean, Sum, Max, and so on. If the plot line always reflects only a single time series, no analytics function is needed. However, this is uncommon.
-
-   If the plot line on the chart shows multiple values, that is one line per metric time series (MTS) when viewed as a line chart, the single number displayed on the chart might represent any of the values for a given point in time.
-
-
-.. note::
-
-    If multiple plots are marked as visible, the value represents the first visible plot in the list. For example, if plots |nbsp| A and |nbsp| B are visible, the value represents plot |nbsp| A. If you hide plot |nbsp| A, the value represents plot |nbsp| B.
-
-To learn more about single value charts, see :ref:`single-value-charts`.
-
-To customize a chart, see :ref:`chart-options-tab`. An especially useful option for this chart type is :ref:`color-value`, which lets you use different colors to represent different value ranges.
-
-.. _heatmap-chart-type:
-
-Use heatmap charts
-------------------
-
-Use heatmap charts when you want to see the specified plot in a format similar to the navigator view in Infrastructure Monitoring, with squares representing each source for the selected metric, and the color of each square representing the value range of the metric.

-
-To customize a chart, see :ref:`chart-options-tab`.
-
-
-.. _list-chart-type:
-
-Use list charts
----------------
-
-Use this chart type to display current data values in a list format. By default, the name of each value in the chart reflects the name of the plot and any associated analytics. To avoid having the raw metric name displayed on the chart, give the plot a meaningful name.

-
-To customize the information shown in the feed, see :ref:`dashboard-event-feed`.

-
-.. _text-chart-type:

-Use text charts
----------------
-
-Use text charts when you want to place a text note on the dashboard instead of displaying metrics.

-
-
-.. _table-chart-type:
-
-Use table charts
-------------------------------
-
-A table chart displays metrics and dimensions in table format. Each metric name and dimension key displays as a column. Each output metric time series displays as a row. If there are multiple values for a cell, each time series displays in a separate row.
-
-.. image:: /_images/data-visualization/charts/table-chart.png
-   :alt: This screenshot shows a table chart grouped by the demo_host dimension, sorted by the demo_customer dimension, and linked to a detector with no alerts as illustrated by a green border around the table chart.
-
-You can group metric time series rows by a dimension. To do this, select the :strong:`Group by` menu and select the dimension you want to group the rows by. The selected dimension's column becomes the first column and each row of the table displays to represent one value of the dimension.
-
-For example, group the table by the :code:`host` dimension to display the health and status of each host in your environment.
-
-If you choose to group by a dimension column that you've hidden, the column displays to accomplish the requested grouping.
-
-After using the :strong:`Group by` option to group the table, there might still be more than one row per dimension value. This can happen if there are multiple values for a column per grouping dimension value. To resolve this, you can apply aggregation analytics to plots.
-
-For more information about aggregation, see :ref:`aggregations-transformations`.
-
-If there are missing data values for a table cell, the cell displays no value.
-
-Here are some additional ways in which you can customize a table chart to best visualize your data:
-
-- Reorder a dimension column
-
-  Select and drag the column header to move the column to its new position. You can't reorder metric columns.
-
-- Show or hide a column
-
-   - In graphical Plot Editor view, select the gear icon near the upper right of the table. In the :strong:`SHOW/HIDE COLUMNS` section, select the column name to switch between showing and hiding the column.
-
-   - In SignalFlow Plot Editor view:
-
-      - To hide a metric column, comment it out by adding a :code:`#` to the start of the metric's line of SignalFlow code. Alternatively, you can remove the metric.
-
-      - To show or hide a dimension column, select the gear icon near the upper right of the table. In the :strong:`SHOW/HIDE COLUMNS` section, select the dimension column name to switch between showing and hiding the column.
-
-- Sort table values
-
-  Select a column header to switch between sorting by ascending and descending order. An arrow icon displays in the column header to indicate the sort order.
-
-- Link a detector to the table chart
-
-  Select the :strong:`Alerts` icon (bell) near the upper right of the Chart Builder. Select :strong:`Link detector` to link the table chart to an existing detector. Select :strong:`New Detector From Chart` to create a new detector to link the table chart to.
-
-  For more information about creating a new detector from a chart, see :ref:`create-detector-from-chart`.
-
-  A chart that is linked to a detector displays with a border color that corresponds to the alert status of the linked detector. For example, if there are no alerts issued by the detector, the chart displays with a green border. The chart displays alerts in the chart header, but doesn't display alert status per row.
-
-For more information about customizing charts, see :ref:`chart-options-tab`.
-
+The chart type you select is applied as a default to all the plots on the chart, but you can use different visualizations for individual plots. To learn more, see :ref:`plot-config-panel`.
