# Chart Analysis

> Build trend, comparison, and breakdown charts from event data in Klaritics, then pin them as widgets to dashboards and configure alerts.

Chart Analysis is the core building block for visualizing event data in Klaritics. You can plot trends over time, compare metrics side by side, and break results down by user or event properties. Once a chart answers the question you care about, pin it to a dashboard as a widget and set alerts to stay informed.

## When to use Chart Analysis

Use Chart Analysis when you want to:

* Track daily, weekly, or monthly trends for key events
* Compare segments of users or versions of a feature
* Break a single metric down by property, such as country or device type

## Build a chart

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose an event">
    Select the primary event you want to measure. This could be a sign-up, purchase, page view, or any custom event you have instrumented.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the metric">
    Pick the aggregation, such as total count, unique users, or sum of a numeric property.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply filters and breakdowns">
    Narrow the data with filters, then add a breakdown to split the chart by a user or event property.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust the time range">
    Choose a preset range or enter custom start and end dates.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Save and share your work

After you build a chart, save it so you and your team can return to it later. Pin the saved chart to any dashboard as a widget. You can also configure alerts on the widget so Klaritics notifies you when the metric crosses a threshold.
