# Creating Insight Charts

Insight Charts analyze data across multiple components. Available chart types are:

* **Flowpath - HGL / EGL:** View hydraulic and energy grade lines

* **Valve Authority**: Analyze control valve performance

* **Variations**: Compare results across parameter changes

To create an Insight Chart:

1. Select the Insight Chart from the Element Palette
2. Click to place it on your flowsheet
3. Select the placed chart and use the Input Panel to:
   * Define the key component
   * Select chart type
   * Set analysis parameters

Insight charts utilize results from multiple components to reveal broader system behavior and performance trends for the following:

* **Flowpath – HGL / EGL** – Plot hydraulic and energy grade lines along a defined flowpath
* **Valve Authority** – Assess how effectively control valves regulate flow under varying conditions
* **Variation** – Compare outputs across variation runs for a specific input

These charts are added to the flowsheet from the Elements Palette and can be defined through the Input Panel, where you specify type, select data sources, and customize presentation.
