# Create a Chart

> Build a chart from a Notion database, preview it live, and get an embed link.

You can create a chart from any Notion destination that has finished its first sync. Charts read from the databases Finta syncs into your Notion workspace, so make sure the data you want to chart is already there.

## Open the chart editor

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Notion destination">
    In your [Finta dashboard](https://app.finta.io), select your Notion destination from the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Charts">
    Select **Charts** under **Extensions**, then click **Create Chart**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The editor has a live **Preview** on the left and the configuration panel on the right. The preview updates as you change the configuration.

<Tip>
  The editor is designed for a larger screen. For the best experience, build
  charts on a desktop or laptop.
</Tip>

## Configure the chart

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name your chart">
    Enter a **Title**. Use **Show Title?** to control whether the title appears
    in the embedded chart.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a chart type">
    Pick **Metric**, **Bar**, **Line**, or **Donut**. The configuration fields
    below change to match the type — see [Chart types](/charts/chart-types).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a database">
    Choose the Notion database to chart. This is the **Table** Finta syncs your
    data into (for example, **Transactions**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map your fields">
    Choose the **Value** field to measure (such as **Amount**) and, depending on
    the chart type, an **X-Axis** field, a **Group By** field, and a
    **Calculation** (Sum, Average, Min, or Max).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a filter (optional)">
    Click the filter icon in the **Data** section to limit the rows the chart
    includes. See [Filters](/charts/filters).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The live preview reads the first 100 rows from your database so it stays fast.
  The published chart uses your full dataset.
</Note>

## Save and embed

When the preview looks right, click **Create Chart**. Finta saves the chart and shows a **Chart Created** dialog containing the embed link:

```
https://app.finta.io/charts/<chart-id>
```

Copy that link and paste it into Notion (or anywhere that supports embeds). See [Embed in Notion](/charts/embed-in-notion) for the full walkthrough.

## Edit or delete a chart

From the **Charts** list you can:

* **Edit** — open any chart to change its configuration; the preview and embed update immediately.
* **Copy link** — grab the embed URL again without reopening the chart.
* **Delete** — remove one or more charts. Deleting a chart breaks any embeds pointing to it.
