# Add packed bubble chart cards
[Coveo Analytics dashboards](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1542/) offer many ways to review the [data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/259/) collected by [Coveo Analytics](https://docs.coveo.com/en/182/).
You can add packed bubble chart cards to dashboards to visualize the significance of different [dimension](https://docs.coveo.com/en/258/) values based on a chosen [metric](https://docs.coveo.com/en/263/).

For example, you can create a packed bubble chart card representing the number of visits per device category.

## Add a packed bubble chart card to a dashboard

. In an existing dashboard, access Edit mode by clicking **Edit** in the upper-right corner.

> **Note**
>
> In a new dashboard, the report is in Edit mode by default (see [Add dashboards](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1631/)).

. In a section, click **Add card to section** to access the **Add a Card** dialog.

> **Tip**
>
> You can also [duplicate an existing card](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1804/) with [copy16px], and then only modify what needs to be different.

. In the **Add a Card** dialog:

.. Select **Packed bubble chart**.

.. In the first input, enter a meaningful **Card title**.

> **Note**
>
> When you leave the box empty and save the dashboard, the card title will be [**Selected Metric**] **per** [**Selected Dimension**] (for example, **Device Category per Unique Visits**).

.. Under **Dimension** and **Metric**, click the dropdown menu, and then select a dimension and a metric to be shown in the table by doing one of the following:

* Click the links (**Search**, **Click**, and **Custom**) to quickly browse dimensions and metrics by event category, and then select the ones of your choice (see [Dimensions](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1904/) and [Metrics](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2041/)).

* Click **All**, and then use the **Filter** box to find and select the dimensions and metrics of your choice.

> **Notes**
>
> * The selected metric determines the size of the bubbles.
> 
> * For better results, select a dimension that has many values (for example, Country, Browser, Document Title).

.. (Optional) In the **Advanced Settings** section:

* Click icon:filter-add-2[alt=filter-add-2,width=16], and then create [one or more dimension filters](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2050/), (for example `Device Category is not blank or n/a`).

* When you report on a custom event and on a search or click event (you added a filter or selected a dimension or metric related) at the same time, or on an all event category metric or dimension (for example, Unique User IP and Browser), choose to **Create a relation using** the **Last search** or the **Visit** between the event categories.

> **Tip**
>
> Select **Last search** in situations where the last query performed by the user is the reason for the custom event.
> 
> For example, in Salesforce, when agents attached a result to a case (`caseAttach`), the last query they made gave them the results they used to do the custom event.
> 
> On the other hand, select **Visit** in situations where none of the queries performed by the user during the visit resolved their matter.
> 
> For example, when one of your clients creates a case (`caseCreate`) usually tried to get the information they needed by querying on the subject of their matter before doing the custom event.
> You can then use these queries to create knowledge base articles and fill the content gap.

> **Notes**
>
> * Custom data can only be leveraged when using the Coveo UA Protocol.
> If your Coveo implementation uses the [Event Protocol](https://docs.coveo.com/en/o1n91230/), custom event types shouldn't be added to a report since they won't function as expected.
> 
> * The **Create a relation using** parameter has no effect when you report only on search and click events.
> 
> * **Last search** links each custom event to the query immediately preceding (if any) and **Visit** links each custom event to all queries performed during the user visit in which the custom event happened.

.. Click **Add Card**.

. Back on the dashboard, click **Save** in the upper-right corner.

> **Notes**
>
> * The card is limited to 16 bubbles including the **Other** bubble.
> 
> * When the selected dimension has more than 15 values, only the 15 dimension values with the highest or lowest metric value (depending on the filters) and one bubble labeled **Other** appear on the card.
> 
> * The **Other** bubble represents the average metric value for the rest of non-displayed dimension values.

## Review packed bubble chart card content

.

. For every packed bubble chart cards, you can:

* See the metric count for each country and the percentage that this count represents on the metric total count by hovering over a circle of the packed bubble chart card.

* Filter the report by only keeping the data of a country by clicking a country in the packed bubble chart card.

* Add or remove a dimension value from the packed bubble chart by hovering over a value in the chart legend and then clicking **Hide**/**Show**.

* Highlight the part of the packed bubble chart representing a dimension value by hovering over a value in the chart legend.
