## Overview

Yellowfin has the functionality to animate, or draw charts as they are generated. This is not to be confused with [Chart Animation](https://yellowfin.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/USER72/pages/2832787/Chart+Components#ChartComponents-Animation) which allows you to animate charts based on time periods.

There are several configuration options available around this type of animation, which allow you to enable or disable it.

 

### System Wide Settings

In order to configure Chart Generation Animation for the entire system, you will need to have Administrator access to **Administration** > **Admin Console** > **Content Settings** > **Charts** > **Animated Loading**.

 

### User Based Settings

In order to configure Chart Generation Animation on a per user basis (different from the system settings) you will need to access your **Settings** in **Timeline**.
