# Creating and Modifying Your Graphs

Before you can create or modify your graph, you should have added rules and/or groups to the query and run the query.
This task explains how to create/modify your own graph. There are many ways to create/modify your graphs, including:

- Changing the type of graph (Step 2)
- Changing the color of the data display (Step 3 and Step 4)
- Adding additional columns to the Chosen Columns list (Step 5)
- Adding additional graphs (Step 6)
- Deleting graphs (Step 7)
- Rerun the query (Step 9)

There are several chart types:

- Bar
- Pie
- Stacked bar
- Line

1. On the Overview tab, click .
   The Chart Settings pop-up displays.
2. To change the type of graph, click the drop-down menu under Type in the PROPERTIES tab, and then select the type of graph you'd like to use.
3. To change the color of the data, click DATA and then click the colored box.
   Note: You can only change the color for filters in the Chosen Columns list.
4. Select a color from the Color Picker pop-up, and then click OK.
5. To add more columns to the Chosen Columns list, click the checkbox next to the filter names.

6. You can add another graph by clicking Add Graph. Fill out the information and click OK to view the new graph.
   Depending on the size of your computer screen, the second graph may be hidden below the first graph. Use the slider (pictured below) to adjust the screen up or down, or click to display the graphs one after the other without the table below.
7. You can delete any of the graphs created in Chart Settings. Click next to the graph name, click OK on the Delete Chart Confirmation pop-up to confirm, and then click OK on the Chart Settings pop-up to reflect the change.
   If you delete all graphs listed in Chart Settings and you want to create a new one, a default graph is created.
8. If you are finished making changes in the Chart Settings pop-up, click OK to apply the changes.
9. To run the query without saving any changes you've made since running it the first time, click .
