Hi Im trying to use Lens visualization. I have two views as metric and bar chart as below ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/7/17119b430fab0ca9977fa9808135353bb5f0f14a.png) When I add this to dashboard, Im able to see only one of the two ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/8/589e47059f8a1c396b0a95b9724904784067acd5.png) So how to use other graph (bar chart). I dont see a way to change the view from dashboard itself. I need to edit visualization chnage this to bar chart and then save it as below ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/9/797433677e34dc67c9df8042231a620c273ecd42.png) Similarly for time series graphs also, I have mutiple views like data table. But Im able to see only one of them in dashboard ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/e/1e94237d8beda35e23d4fc4eee9ce5e4fe331fb7.png) Can I switch the view from dashboard itself, instead of going inside and changing the visualization? ---

Hi @RAM_NATHAN In your first screenshot I can see one chart (metric one) with 2 suggestions: do you want to show all the visualizations in the suggestion list on your dashboard? If that is the case, there's a simple thing you can do: - Clone the metric Lens visualization (in Edit mode click the cog icon on the top right of the panel, then "Clone") - Open the cloned visualization in Lens (still cog icon =\> Open in Lens) - click on the suggested chart on the suggestion list (the bar chart one) - now click "Save and return" ---

Means, I have to create 2 visualizations one for Metric Text, other for bar chart and add both separately to dashboard. I guess same approach i need to follow for time series multiple views Correct? ---

Correct. With the cloning step you can speed up a bit the data configuration, but then a minimum editing for the final tweak (chart type or else) is required. ---
