Using the Chart block, you can add different types of charts to your Softr app. The charts get the data from data sources.
In the following articles, you can get familiar with different chart layouts that are available. In this article, we’ll set up a chart (using a Bar Chart as an example) from the scratch and explain each configuration option.
To start configuring the chart, you first need to link it to a data source to start displaying your data. We are going to use Airtable for that purpose. So, let’s start.
<aside> 💡 If you make an update in your data source, it will take 15 min until that change is reflected in your chart in preview, and live mode.
Learn more about data sampling and data freshness at the end of this article.

Linking an Airtable base and table
This part is similar to the List block settings, where you need to connect a data source ****from the Data tab ****to get your chart data.
<aside> 💡 Please note, that you first need to have your data source linked in Settings => Data Sources to be able to connect a specific database.
</aside>
Under the Source tab, you also have the Conditional Filters section. Chart Conditional Filters work similar to List conditional filters.
<aside> 💡 If you want to refer to an Airtable Linked Record in your condition, use a relevant Lookup Field (supported), not a Linked Record itself (not supported).

Now, let's see what we have in the Features tab of block's settings.
Here you set a Title and Subtitle for the block.
