Once you [create an Insights report](https://community.acquia.com/acquiadam/s/article/How-do-I-create-an-Insights-report), a chart is generated on the main report page. The default chart is a line graph with data grouped by day.

Change the chart by selecting how you want the data grouped along the x-axis of the chart. The options for groupings depend on event type.
