Share your chart
To share your chart, either click to copy the chart's URL to your clipboard, or click
to open the Share your analysis modal.
Enter the names or emails of the stakeholders you want to share the chart with, and set their access privileges with the drop-down to the right. When you're ready, click Modify Owners.
Add your chart to a dashboard or notebook
To add your chart to a new or existing dashboard or notebook, click + Add to and scroll down until you find the dashboard or notebook you're looking for. You can also use this chart as the basis for creating a new dashboard or notebook.
Add custom legend labels
You can edit the legend of your chart to make it more readable. This is useful if, for example, you have applied multiple group-bys to a chart, and want to make it easy for viewers to understand what each segment is referring to.
Simply click the legend label you wish to change, then type in the description you want. The segment names in the breakdown data table below the chart will not change to reflect custom legend labels, however.
Customize a chart's y-axis
You can set the minimum and maximum values displayed on your chart's y-axis (vertical). This will enable you to avoid dramatic changes in y-axis values between subsequent chart views, as well as maintain consistent y-axes across charts when adding them to dashboards.
To do so, simply click the vertical axis on your chart, then enter the desired minimum and maximum values in the modal that appears.
Switch projects or chart types
To switch the project you are viewing, click the project name in the title of the chart and select a different project. Your chart will reflect the data of the newly-selected project. The new chart will match the controls of the original chart as closely as possible, and will drop any events or properties not instrumented in the new project.
You can also switch the chart type, by clicking the chart type name and selecting a different type. You can choose to preserve the events or segments you have already added to your current chart.
Chart cache times
Amplitude caches charts and requests. The cache time is dependent on the time interval (daily, weekly, monthly) and the numbers days from the present day. CSV downloads from charts will also be cached.
Below are the cache times for charts. Cache times for dashboards and CSV downloads are twice as long as the times listed below (e.g. 20 minutes, within last 7 days).
Real-time queries:
- five minutes, within the last 24 hours
Hourly queries:
- five minutes
Daily queries:
- ten minutes, within last seven days
- 60 minutes, within last 30 days
- six hours, greater than last 30 days
Weekly queries:
- 60 minutes, within last four weeks
- six hours, within last 12 weeks
- 24 hours, greater than last 12 weeks
Monthly queries:
- six hours, within last three months
- 24 hours, within last six months
- 48 hours, greater than last six months
NOTE: If you're measuring time on the datepicker using the "between" option, the query times listed above apply to any range of that duration, and not just the most recent. For instance, a chart generated in 2023 that examines monthly data collected between January 2020 and June 2020 (a six-month span that is not the most recent six months) would be cached for 24 hours.
