Newbie question. I finally got around to getting my water profile done. I see entries for Chloride but nothing for Chlorine. Is Chloride the indicator of the chlorine in my water?

No, they’re different.
Chlorine is the molecule that is added to tap water to disinfect it. You don’t want that to brew. Chloride is the negatively charged ion that combines with other minerals such as sodium or calcium. That’s what you want in your beer.
