## Building a Chart via Point and Click

It requires four steps to build a chart:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="1. Select raw table(s)">
    Search and select the relevant raw table(s) needed for visulizing data in your chart.

    <Tip>
      The list of available raw table(s) is generated after the [data connection](/data-connection/data-connection) is set up and metadata is computed.
    </Tip>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="2. Prepare data">
    Input the relevant SQL to prepare the raw data for data visulization and click
    **Run query** to execute the code.

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="3. Build chart">
    Select the relevant chart type, and choose the corresponding x- & y-axis
    columns for the charting. See [Chart
    Configuration](/content/charts/area-line-chart) for settings to tailor your
    chart. Click **Save** when you are happy with your chart. You could also
    create a copy of the chart by clicking **Save copy**.

## Edit an existing chart

Navigate to the **Library** application using the side navigation bar. Open the chart you want to edit by clicking it, and it will bring you to the
[**Chart Edit**](/charts/point-and-click-interface#building-a-chart-via-point-and-click) screen mentioned above.
