# Generate a time view to analyze Grid Layers

## This option allows you to create an analysis and time view for your raster grid map and work with charts.

     This tool is very useful to create temporal views and analyses on your raster data map.

#### Instructions

     1. To do this, first, you have to create a map with a **time series** of raster data. To learn more about this topic, [click here](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/create-raster-grid-time-series?hsLang=en).

     2. Next, you need to add the button for the bottom panels called "**time view**". To do this, go to "**Viewer configuration**" \> "**Map interface**" \> "**Bottom panel**" and check the "**time view**" option. To learn more, [click here](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/viewer-configuration-?hsLang=en).
