# Series

The data series are the main components of the Chart.

The rest of the Chart elements play a supportive role for the user when understanding the plotted series.

The Chart supports the following series types:

* [Area and Vertical Area](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/charts/area)

## Basic Usage

Series are declared by using the [ChartSeriesItem](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/charts/api/chartseriesitemprops) configuration components and placed in a `ChartSeries` collection.

For more information on how to configure each Chart series, refer to the articles on the [series types](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/charts/area). For more information on how to bind the series to data, refer to the article on [data binding](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/charts/data-binding).

The following example configures a set of Scatter Line series.

## Default Series Configuration

You can apply a subset of settings to all Chart series by using the [`ChartSeriesDefaults`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/charts/api/chartseriesdefaultsprops) component.

The ChartSeriesDefaults component supports the following child components:

* [`ChartSeriesDefaultsLabels`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/charts/api/chartseriesdefaultslabelsprops)
* [`ChartSeriesDefaultsNotes`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/charts/api/chartseriesdefaultsnotesprops)

The following example demonstrates how to set the default series type and labels.
