CRM Analytics Charts in Dynamics 365 present large quantities of data in an organization in a more insightful and graphical way. They are built from the query on the data. When the query is updated for the data, the associated charts also get updated automatically. Dynamics 365 includes system CRM Analytics Charts (built-in charts that come with Dynamics 365) and user charts (created by users).
