 `[dictionary]` defines name-value associations. These are used to renaming metrics, when added to synthetic charts. Metric names are also defined at each `dimension` line. However, using the dictionary dimension names can be declared globally, for each app and is the only way to rename dimensions when using patterns. Of course the dictionary can be empty or missing.
 
-Then, add any number of charts. Each chart should start with `[id]`. The chart will be called `app_name.id`.  `family` controls the submenu on the dashboard. `context` controls the alarm templates. `priority` controls the ordering of the charts on the dashboard. The rest of the settings are informational.

 > keep in mind that if you add multiple times the same StatsD metric to a chart, Netdata will append `TYPE` to the dimension ID, so `myapp.metric1` will be added as `myapp.metric1_last` or `myapp.metric1_events`, etc. If you add multiple times the same metric with the same `TYPE` to a chart, Netdata will also append an incremental counter to the dimension ID, i.e. `myapp.metric1_last1`, `myapp.metric1_last2`, etc.
