Figure: Chart Source
Edit Dataset
Lets you make changes to the underlying dataset definition used by the chart.
It is accessible only for Admins, for other users this option is grayed.
Swap Dataset
Allows you to replace the dataset currently powering the chart with another dataset. For more information, refer to Field Description.
Note
Warning! Changing the dataset may break the chart if the chart relies on columns or metadata that does not exist in the target dataset.

Field Description
Field | Description |
---|---|
Name | The display name of the dataset you can swap to. It represents how the dataset is identified in the reporting tool. |
Type | Defines whether the dataset is Physical (directly mapped to a database table or view) or Virtual (built using a custom SQL query). |
Schema | The database schema where the dataset resides. A schema is a logical grouping of database object that helps organize and locate datasets. |
Connection | The database connection associated with the dataset. It specifies which data source the dataset is linked to. |
Owner | The user or team who created or manages the dataset. Ownership indicates accountability and often controls who can edit or modify the dataset. |
View in SQL Lab
Opens the raw SQL query that powers the dataset/chart in a SQL editor.Figure: View SQL in Lab
Lets you to perform the below actions:
Inspect the actual query running behind the visualization
Modify or extend the SQL for more complex logic
Validate the query results before applying them back into the dataset or chart
Useful for power users who need transparency and control over the exact query execution.

Dimensions contain qualitative values such as names, dates or geographical data. Use dimensions to categorize, segment, and reveal the details in your data. Dimensions affect the level of detail in the view.
Metrics
Select one or many metrics to display. You can use an aggregation function on a column o write custom SQL to create a metric.
Percentage Metrics
Select one or many metrics to display, that will be displayed in the percentages of total. Percentage metrics will be calculated only from data within the row limit. You can use an aggregation function on a column or write custom SQL to create a percentage metric.
Filters
Drag and drop columns or metrics here in the Filters.
Sort Query by
Orders the query result that generates the source data for this chart. If a series or row limit is reached this determines what data are truncated. If undefined, defaults to the first metric (where appropriate).
Server Pagination

Row Limit
Limits the number of rows that are computed in the query that is the source of the data used for this chart.
