## Charts When you add a Chart to a Dashboard, you will be prompted to choose a [**Variable**](https://help.taglo.io/variables) from which to create a Chart. By default, a Chart will be created similar to the one seen in the preview for that Variable. Just as with preview Charts, you can configure how the Chart is displayed. This is done in the **Chart settings** step of the Chart Item dialog, as shown in the screenshot below **(1)**. {% hint style="info" %} Read about configuring Chart settings [**here**](https://help.taglo.io/charts/chart-customisation) {% endhint %} By default, the Chart's values will reflect the Model's active Scenario and Sensitivity. You can fix values to the Scenario and Sensitivity selected in the Chart settings control by using the **Vary with active Case** toggle **(2)**. The width of the Chart can be edited in the **Size** page of the dialog **(3)**.

## Metrics When you add a [**Metric**](https://help.taglo.io/metrics/metrics) to a Dashboard, you simply need to select a Metric to display - the Metric will be formatted automatically. ## Assumptions When you add an Assumptions Table to a Dashboard, you will be prompted to select any Assumptions to display. Selected Assumptions will be displayed in a table in which values can be edited as you would edit values in the [**Assumptions tab**](https://help.taglo.io/assumptions/introduction-to-assumptions#the-assumptions-tab). Assumptions can can reordered by dragging and dropping them in the table. When adding an Assumptions table, the wizard contains a page of settings (as shown below), allowing you to show or hide various columns in the table. Switching off columns can make the table narrower and allow you to view more dashboard items simultaneously.

{% hint style="warning" %} Columns that are switched off in the dashboard are only hidden within Models, but will be shown in the generated Excel. {% endhint %} ## Data Table When you add a Data Table to a Dashboard, you simply need to select a Data Table to display. {% hint style="info" %} Note, currently Data Tables are not displayed in Models, only when generating in Excel. Read more about Excel Data Tables [**here**](https://help.taglo.io/layout/data-tables). {% endhint %}
