# VisBuilder
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VisBuilder is an experimental feature and shouldn't be used in a production environment. For updates on its progress, or if you want to leave feedback that helps improve the feature, see the [GitHub issue](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/issues/2280).

You can use the VisBuilder visualization type in OpenSearch Dashboards to create data visualizations by using a drag-and-drop gesture. With VisBuilder you have:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* An immediate view of your data without the need to preselect the visualization output.
|
|||
|
|
* The flexibility to change visualization types and index patterns quickly.
|
|||
|
|
* The ability to easily navigate between multiple screens.

## Try VisBuilder in the OpenSearch Dashboards playground
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you'd like to try out VisBuilder without installing OpenSearch locally, you can do so in the [Dashboards playground](https://playground.opensearch.org/app/vis-builder#/). VisBuilder is enabled by default.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Try VisBuilder locally
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VisBuilder is enabled by default. If you want to disable it, set the feature `flag vis_builder.enabled:` to `false` in the `opensearch_dashboards.yml` file as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
# Set the value of this setting to false to disable VisBuilder
|
|||
|
|
# functionality in Visualization.
|
|||
|
|
vis_builder.enabled: false
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Follow these steps to create a new visualization using VisBuilder in your environment:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Open Dashboards:
|
|||
|
|
- If you're not running the security plugin, go to http://localhost:5601.
|
|||
|
|
- If you're running the security plugin, go to https://localhost:5601 and log in with your username and password (default is admin/admin).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Confirm that the **Enable experimental visualizations** option is turned on.
|
|||
|
|
- From the top menu, select **Management** **>** **Stack Management** **>** **Advanced Settings**.
|
|||
|
|

|
4. Drag and drop field names from the left column into the **Configuration** panel to generate a visualization.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here’s an example visualization. Your visualization will look different depending on your data and the fields you select.
