# Charts

Charts compares the latest available cross-environment report snapshots. It is not a live replacement for running the source reports.

![Charts showing the documented report periods and the empty-state prompt to run a background report](https://811612578-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FhDqoq1B5ZF4gJyKkaIEJ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3ec0c90e3fa165fbadbe184cb871a9afb20c28b7%2Fpdac-charts.png?alt=media)

*A clean installation has no cached chart data. This empty state is expected before reports complete.*

## Populate charts

1. Sign in and load environments.
2. In [Reports](/pdac/reporting/reports.md), select environments in the relevant cards.
3. Run the required reports and wait for completion.
4. Open **Charts** and review its status and inventory totals.

The dashboard covers AI usage, flow-run health, sessions, and solution/component inventory. Its period note distinguishes **last-seven-day flow runs** from **current-calendar-month AI Flow and Copilot sessions**. Solution inventory includes managed and Microsoft-owned solutions; do not compare it with a filtered unmanaged-only solution list without reconciling the scope.

Use the latest status/data availability to distinguish a real zero from a missing report. Changes made directly in Microsoft tools do not instantly rewrite a locally cached report snapshot.

## Drill into supported records

Double-click an eligible solution, solution-component, or agent-session bar when its tooltip offers **Double-click to see records**. The modal provides search and paginated record lists, in pages of 100.

* Solutions can show version, publisher, management type, and IDs.
* Components can show type, containing solution, names, and IDs.
* Sessions show agent, start time, and conversation ID without fetching transcript content.

AI-event and flow-run charts do **not** support this record drilldown. Use [AI Flow](/pdac/activity-and-usage/ai-flow.md) or [Flow Runs](/pdac/activity-and-usage/flow-runs.md) for their detailed rows.

## Historic-data caveats

New Solutions reports retain daily record inventories alongside totals. Older data may have only names or totals; a record popup explicitly labels a fallback to the latest inventory. Such a fallback should not be interpreted as an exact record-level reconstruction of an older day.

Session record lists are fetched from Dataverse for the selected period. Expired/deleted sessions may no longer be available even though their previously saved totals remain.

For changes over time and date-range comparison, use [Trends](/pdac/reporting/trends.md). For environment configuration comparisons rather than report metrics, use [Environment audit](/pdac/reporting/environment-audit.md).
