MongoDB Charts is a tool to create visual representations of
11+
your MongoDB data. Data visualization is a key component to providing a
12+
clear understanding of your data, highlighting correlations between
13+
variables and making it easy to discern patterns and trends within your
14+
dataset. You can use MongoDB Charts to visualize data both in the form
15+
of graphical charts and in tabular formats.

MongoDB Charts also makes communicating your data a straightforward
18+
process by providing built-in tools to easily share your data across
19+
a variety of platforms.

MongoDB Charts Features

24+
One of the most powerful features of MongoDB Charts is its built-in
25+
:manual:`aggregation </aggregation>` functionality. Aggregation allows
26+
you to process your collection data by a variety of metrics and perform
27+
calculations such as mean and standard deviation to provide further
28+
insight into your data.
29+
30+
Further, MongoDB Charts is able to handle document-based data,
31+
including nested documents and arrays. This gives you the flexibility
32+
of structuring data how it fits best for your application while
33+
still retaining powerful visualization capabilities.

MongoDB Charts Concepts
36+
-----------------------
37+
38+
The following elements of MongoDB Charts provide the flow of data
39+
from its source to a visual representation:
40+
41+
.. list-table::
42+
:header-rows: 1
43+
:widths: 20 80
44+
45+
* - Element
46+
- Description
47+
48+
* - Data Source
49+
- A reference to a MongoDB collection which contains the data you
50+
wish to visualize. Note that deleting a data source has no
51+
effect on the underlying MongoDB collection. For information on
52+
connecting to and managing a data source, see
53+
:doc:`Managing Data Sources <managing-data-sources>`.
54+
55+
* - Chart
56+
- A visualization which maps to a *single* data source.
57+
58+
* - Dashboard
59+
- A group of one or more charts.
60+
61+
Dashboards are the cornerstone of MongoDB Charts as they are
62+
where you create and view your data visualizations. For details
63+
on how to create, manage, and share dashboards, see
64+
:doc:`Managing Dashboards <managing-dashboards>`.
65+
66+
.. note::
67+
68+
Since a chart can only display data from a single collection,
69+
dashboards which combine multiple charts are not only useful, but
70+
necessary for visualizing data from multiple collections in a single
71+
view. This can lead to new insights into your data which may not be
72+
immediately apparent.
73+
74+
.. example::
75+
76+
The following dashboard contains two charts, each with distinct
77+
focal points into a collection containing movie data:
