Panes

Panes are individual visualization components that transform query results into charts, tables, and other visual formats. They are the building blocks used to construct dashboards.

How to Access

Navigate to Insights → Panes in the platform.

Panes List

The main view displays all saved panes in a searchable table:

Column	Description
Title	Pane name
Type	Visualization type
Query	Source query name
Created At	Creation date
Updated At	Last modification

Quick Navigation

Click Dashboards button to switch to the Dashboards view.

Creating a Pane

Panes are created from the Query Analyzer:

Step 1: Write Your Query

In Fusion → Query Analyzer, write and execute your SQL query.

Step 2: Open Visualization

Click the Visualize or chart icon to open the visualization panel.

Step 3: Choose Chart Type

Select the appropriate visualization:

Type	Best For
Table	Raw data, detailed records
Line Chart	Trends over time
Bar Chart	Comparing categories
Pie Chart	Proportions and percentages
Area Chart	Cumulative values over time
Gauge	Single metric against a range
Single Value	Key numbers and KPIs
Map	Geographic data

Step 4: Configure Appearance

Step 5: Save as Pane

Click Save Pane and provide:

• Pane name
