View Dashboard Data

Atlas Charts automatically refreshes chart data once it becomes out of date with the backing data source. You can also manually refresh dashboard data at any time.

To learn how to configure automatic refresh settings and underlying refresh behavior, see Refresh Dashboard Data.

You can export the data underlying a chart can as a table. All viewers of public dashboards and authenticated users of non-public dashboards can view and export data. To view the chart data, click View chart data from the menu. Each row in the table represents a data point.

Important

Table Differs from Chart Visualization

Some configuration options you see reflected on a chart visualization are not applied to the table. The Chart Data table displays underlying data retrieved with your full aggregation pipeline, and not all Chart Builder configuration options apply aggregation stages. Review your data to verify its contents.

If you want to analyze your underlying data with a third-party tool, you can download your data from the Chart Data modal. To download your data, click Download - CSV or Download - JSON.

Note

You can also retrieve chart data using the Embedding SDK getData() method. To learn more about SDK API methods, see the Embedding SDK Reference.
