팁
This lesson is part of a course that teaches you how to build a custom visualization on the New Relic platform.
Each lesson in the course builds upon the last, so make sure you've completed the last lesson, Customize visualizations with configuration, before starting this one.
In the previous lesson, you added a configuration option to your visualization that allows you to choose how you want to represent your data. This was different from the previous version of your code because, while you can still choose your chart type, you can now only do it before you create an instance of your visualization. But what does it mean to create an instance of your visualization? How do you use a visualization once you've configured it?
In this lesson, you'll learn how to create an instance of your visualization and add that instance to dashboard.

Add your custom visualization to a dashboard
From the root directory of your Nerdpack, publish and subscribe to your visualization:
$nr1 nerdpack:publish$nr1 nerdpack:subscribe중요
To publish a Nerdpack you must be a Full user with the Nerdpacks “modify” privilege (this is granted by default).
Next, find your published visualization in the New Relic Apps overlay.
From the New Relic homepage, select the Apps button in the top right navigation bar.
From the Apps page, click the Custom Visualizations launcher.
Select RadarOrTreemap.
In the previous lesson, you changed your visualization to use the platform configurations panel for selecting a chart type.
Click Add to dashboard. Then, select a dashboard from the list of available dashboards, or select New dashboard.
If you decide to create a new dashboard, select an account and a name.
Click Add to dashboard.
Go to your dashboard to see your custom visualization.
Note that you can create another version of the visualization with the other chart type and add it to the same dashboard. That's why we call these instances of your visualization.
Delete your visualization
Once you've added your visualization to a dashboard, you can't edit it. You can't change the underyling query, account ID, chart type, or any other previously configurable option. So, if you're not happy with your visualization, delete it from your dashboard and walk through the steps in this guide again to add a new instance.
Click the ellipses button in the right-hand corner of the visualization, and click Delete.
Confirm that you want to delete your visualization.
