# Custom Input Charts ## Overview The Custom Input Charts category provides flexible visualization widgets that allow users to create interactive charts from manually entered data without requiring database table connections. These widgets feature Excel-like spreadsheet interfaces where users can directly input data, paste from external sources, or use example templates to quickly build custom visualizations. Whether you need to display results from external instruments, compare literature values, create summary reports from aggregated data, or generate presentation graphics on the fly, these tools offer the flexibility to visualize any data set within your laboratory records. By combining intuitive data entry with powerful charting capabilities including 11 different chart types, these widgets bring spreadsheet-style visualization directly into your ELN or LIMS workflows. ## Widgets * [Data Visualizer](/widgets/section-widgets/report/custom-input-charts/data-visualizer.md) - Create interactive charts from manually entered data in an Excel-like spreadsheet interface with multiple visualization types and aggregation options --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
