# Vizpad level

Configure how Vizpads display query execution time in View and Edit modes. Enable time pills, menu details, and breakdowns to monitor chart performance easily.

For both **View** and **Edit** modes, Tellius displays the time taken by Tellius and external resources to execute the query and load every chart in a Vizpad.

### **View mode**

In Tellius 6.4, select the gear icon at the top right of the Vizpad, next to **View**. Under **Query time**, turn **Show query time in chart menu** or **Show query time on chart** on or off. What each one shows is described below.

{% hint style="info" %}
**A quick look or a lasting setting?** In **View** mode, the two toggles take effect at once but change only what you see: when you reload the Vizpad, they go back to the settings saved with it. To keep a setting with the Vizpad, turn it on or off in **Edit** mode and select **Save Changes**.
{% endhint %}

In releases before Tellius 6.4, the **View** mode had a timer icon that turned the query execution time on or off and opened the **Show Query Time** menu below.

### **Edit mode**

In Tellius 6.4, select **Edit Vizpad**. The same gear icon sits at the top right, next to **Cancel** and **Save Changes**, and holds the same two **Query time** toggles. In releases before Tellius 6.4, the query loading time was turned on or off with a timer icon placed between **Run Queries on** and **Settings** at the top right corner.

1. If **Show query time in chart menu** is enabled, then the details of the total time taken to execute a query will be displayed in the three-dot kebab menu of every chart. In Tellius 6.4, the menu ends with a **Time taken** group: **Total time taken** is the time it took to run the chart's query and draw the chart, and **Query Time Details** opens the breakdown.

2. Click on the **Query Time Details** to view the breakdown of the query executed. Each query's comprehensive details, including the ID, description, and the resource in which it was executed, will be displayed.

3. If **Show query time in chart menu** is disabled, then the query time will not be displayed as a part of the chart's menu.
4. If **Show query time on chart** is enabled by the admins on a Vizpad, then the details of the time taken to execute a query will be displayed on the top right corner of every chart (in the form of a pill). This helps in providing a quick, holistic overview of the time taken to load each chart in a Vizpad.

{% hint style="info" %}
While **Show query time in chart menu** is available for all users, **Show query time on chart** is available only to admins.
{% endhint %}

5. Click on the time pill to view the breakdown of the time taken to load the query breakdown. Each query's comprehensive details, including the ID, description, and the resource in which it was executed, will be displayed.

<figure><img src="https://1702728550-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FC5PhRxmOjkQZJEO6F9Zw%2Fuploads%2F6D63Xh5W7HGkY79qTs57%2Fquery-time-breakdown-vizpad-64.png?alt=media&amp;token=753ad022-f4f6-48ae-8397-127c7030ddf6" alt="The Query time breakdown window that opens from the time pill, with the external, Tellius and total times and a table of each query" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

6. If the **Show query time on chart** toggle is disabled, then the details of the time taken to execute a query will not be displayed on every chart.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that any changes made to the display of the query time in View mode will be reflected in the Edit mode and vice versa.\
\
For example, if **Show query time in chart menu** toggle is disabled in the **View** mode, then the **Show query time** toggle will be disabled for every individual charts in **Edit** mode by default.\
\
Similarly, if **Show query time** toggle is enabled for an individual chart in **Edit** mode, then **Total time taken** will be displayed in the three-dot menu for that particular chart in **View** mode.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://help.tellius.com/tellius-6.4/vizpads-explore/time-taken-to-load-a-chart/vizpad-level.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.
