### Distribution charts

Distribution charts display distributions and summaries of the selected metrics and custom metadata.

Here are some examples:

* Data unit: Frame number, random value, area
* Metadata: Enum with their enum options, numeric, date time, and boolean

<Note>`varchar` (previously `string`), `text` (previously `long_string`), and `uuid` are NOT SUPPORTED for use in Distribution charts.</Note>

### Correlation charts

Correlation charts display a scatter plot of two attributes to show correlation within your current filtered view. Correlation charts require numeric data.

<Note>Distribution charts support a number of custom metadata types, however Correlation charts ONLY SUPPORT `numeric` custom metadata.</Note>

### Custom Analytics Dashboard

1. Navigate to **Data** > **Explore** and select a folder.

2. Click **Analytics view**.

3. Specify the display criteria for the *Distribution* and *Correlation* cards that display by default.

4. Click **Add chart** to add additional *Distribution* and *Correlation* cards.

5. Specify the display criteria for the added *Distribution* and *Correlation*.
