# Report graph block settings

The **Report graph** block shows a graph for a selected [report](/19/docs/what-are-reports) on your site.

In addition to the standard or common [block settings](/19/docs/block-settings), there are a number of configurable options specific to the **Report graph** block.

| **Setting** | **Description** | **Notes** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Report | Select the report you want to display from the dropdown list. | - |
| Show report data for user | Determine which data is used for the graph. There are three options: - **Me (username)**: Displays report data for the user creating the block - **Current user viewing block**: Displays report data for the user viewing the block - **The guest account**: Displays report data for the guest account viewing the block | - |
| Cache lifetime | Select the duration of the cache lifetime, ranging from one minute to one day. This determines how often the graph is updated. | This setting should be set to ensure that graph information is adequately up to date, while keeping page load times fast. |
| Max height | Specify the maximum height (in pixels) of the graph image. | By default the image will take up the available space, and the aspect ratio will always be maintained. |
| Max width | Specify the maximum width (in pixels) of the graph image. | By default the image will take up the available space, and the aspect ratio will always be maintained. |
