If the chart editor opens without any presets to choose from, the workspace's primary template type is set to Other.
Template presets are tuned to specific database schemas (Finance, Habits, Fitness, Subscriptions, Trading). For workspaces that use a custom database, we hide presets because we don't know which properties to map. You'll need to configure each chart manually:
- Pick a Chart Type (bar, line, pie, etc.).
- Choose the X-axis property (often a date or category).
- Choose the Y-axis property (a number, formula, or checkbox).
- Optionally add filters or turn on cumulative mode.
If you'd rather use presets, edit the workspace and change its template type to one that matches your database. See Can I change what a workspace is used for after creating it?.
