 | **Type**       | Selects the query type to run. The `instant` type queries against a single point in time. We use the "To" time from the time range. The `range` type queries over the selected range of time.                                                                                  |
 | **Line limit** | Defines the upper limit for the number of log lines returned by a query. The default is Loki's configured maximum lines limit.                                                                                                                                                 |
 | **Legend**     | _(Available only in a dashboard)_ Controls the time series name, using a name or pattern. For example, `{{hostname}}` is replaced with the label value for the label `hostname`.                                                                                               |
+| **Step**       | Sets the step parameter of Loki metrics queries. The default value equals to the value of `$__interval` variable, which is calculated using the time range and the width of the graph (the number of pixels).                                                                  |
 | **Resolution** | Sets the step parameter of Loki metrics range queries. With a resolution of `1/1`, each pixel corresponds to one data point. `1/2` retrieves one data point for every other pixel, `1/10` retrieves one data point per 10 pixels, and so on. Lower resolutions perform better. |
