Column Chart

    • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's asset context as its data source. For details, see Create a new visualization.

    • If this content is in an experience, it uses the navigation item's asset reference as its data source. For details, see the Add content to a pane section in Add content to panes in your navigation items.

  • Asset - If Follow asset context is disabled, select the asset to represent with this content item. To display data, the selected asset must have events.

    You can search for assets by name, by filter, or both.
