# Set default chart options

As an administrator, you can add default chart options that are applied whenever a new chart is created. Adding default chart options does not apply the changes to existing charts. You can modify the options on charts without affecting the default option settings. You can also set an existing chart back to the default settings by clicking the **Reset to default** link on the **Other** tab of the **Chart Options** dialog box.

Role permissions are as follows:

| Actions | Administrator | Power user | Business analyst (View-only) |
| ------- | ------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------- |
| Set     | X             |            |                              |
| Reset   | X             | X          |                              |
| Remove  | X             |            |                              |

Perform the following steps to set a default chart option:

1. Open the chart you want to modify.
2. Select the **More actions and options** button, then click **Chart Options**.

   The **Chart Options** dialog box displays.
3. Enter the new default options in the **Chart Options** dialog box and select **Set as default for all charts**.

   The **Alert** dialog box displays and gives you the option of cancelling your changes.
4. Click **OK** to apply your new defaults.

The default options are set for new charts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/pentaho-analyzer-cp/creating-analyzer-reports/chart-options-for-analyzer-reports-cp/set-default-chart-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
