After you click the Edit This Dashboard icon (pencil), each chart includes the following elements:

![chart_elements_22.0.png](https://lucidum.cloud/docs/chart_elements_22.0.png)

1. The **Chart Title**for the chart. The data in the chart is defined by the query and the *Summary* for the chart.
2. **Clone.** Allows you to copy the chart to an existing dashboard. For details, see [Copying a Chart](https://lucidum.io/docs/managing-charts/#copying_a_chart).
3. **View Query Results**. Displays a table populated with the results of the query for the chart. You can also click through to view additional details about the data for each chart. For details, see [Viewing Query Results](https://lucidum.io/docs/creating-queries-2/#viewing_query_results).
4. **Settings**. Displays the **Add Chart**/**Edit Chart** dialog, where you can edit the chart type, type of data, time range, query, Chart Title, Subtitle, and chart-specific settings (for example, axis titles*) for*the chart. This option appears only for dashboards that you have created or have admin privileges for. For details about creating a chart, see [Creating a Chart](https://lucidum.io/docs/creating-a-chart/).
5. **Delete**. Removes the chart from the current dashboard. This option appears only for dashboards that you have created or have admin privileges for. For details on deleting a chart, see [Deleting a Chart](https://lucidum.io/docs/managing-charts/#deleting_a_chart).

## Drilling Down

You can drill down into a chart and view more details about the data. Clicking on an element in a chart displays the **Query Results** page, but filtered for the selected element.

**NOTE:**To drill down into a Table charts and Big Number charts, click the View Results icon.

For example, suppose a dashboard includes this bar graph:

![identities_by_department_drilldown_22.0.png](https://lucidum.cloud/docs/identities_by_department_drilldown_22.0.png)

If we edit the bar graph, we see the following:

![identities_by_department_drilldown_4_22.0.png](https://lucidum.cloud/docs/identities_by_department_drilldown_4_22.0.png)

The bar graph above includes the following:

- Query is for entity type **User **
- Query is for the **Current time range**. By default, this means the present day through 7 days old.
- ***Filter***is:
  - *Lucidum User Name exists AND User Status::Lucidum Status match Enabled*
  - This tells Lucidum to search all user records where the user has a Lucidum User Name and the user's status is "Enabled".
- ***Category***is:
  - *Lucidum User Name*
  - For bar charts, Category is the value in the x-axis. In this example, Category tells Lucidum to create a graph where number of users are displayed on the x-axis.
- ***Series***is:
  - *Department*
  - For bar charts, Series is the attribute that you want to display on the y-axis. In this example, Series tells Lucidum to create a graph where assets are sorted by department.

If we leave edit mode and mouse over the bar for ***Security***, we see the number of users in the Security Department.

If we leave edit mode and click on the bar for ***Security***, we see the **Query Results** page:

![identities_by_department_drilldown_2_22.0.png](https://lucidum.cloud/docs/identities_by_department_drilldown_2_22.0.png)

Notice that the Query Results page displays the results from a new filter:

- Department exists AND Department == Security
- The **Query Results** page displays details about all users in the Security department

For details on the **Query Results** page, see the [section in the Building Queries chapter](https://lucidum.io/docs/creating-queries-2/#viewing_query_results).

In the **Query Results** page, if you click the**>** at the far right of a row, the **Viewing Details** page appears for the selected user or asset.

For details on the **Viewing Details** page, see the chapter on [Viewing Details About Individual Assets, Users, or Vulnerabilities](https://lucidum.io/docs/viewing-details-about-individual-assets-users-or-vulnerabilities).
