How to add y-axis description in a bar chart?

Hi,

I've a created a bar chart, which looks fine in the saved report. After adding the report to a dashboard, the description on the y-axis is not available.

It should look like this example:

But the sendout, indexer, regexreplacement is missing in the dashboard panel

Thanks in advance

Heinz
