Generic View Containers

Generic view containers let you build your own views and add them to dashboards. You select a container with a basic chart format. Then select view options to build a custom view. The View Settings dialog limits the parameters that you can change, based on the view container and the parameters it supports.

When you build a custom view, you can select a metric or metric family to display in the view, and you can select other parameters for charts and tables.

Most custom views are specific to data sources. Generic containers that can only display data from a single data source are labeled as such on the Edit Dashboard Layout page. Look for the name of the data source and the "Custom View" label to find these containers on the page.
