Trend configuration
Configured trend charts display color-coded data points used for analysis based on customizations from the Edit trend side pane.
You can also select an area on a trend chart to display cross-section details.
- Flexible time bar: Select-and-drag the ends of the time bar to adjust the current view of the trend to a specific time in the chart. The Time slider allows you to select a time-based increment for how you want to view the chart: hour, day, week, month, year, or all. The flexible time bar adjusts accordingly.
- Trend chart name: The name of the current chart.
- Trended data points left Y-axis and right Y-axis: The names of the data points added to the chart displayed on the left y-axis and the right y-axis. You can select a data point name to include or exclude it from the current trend display. The names of excluded data points are grayed out.
- Cross-sectional trend information: Displays the date, time, and values of the trended data points within the selected cross-section.
NOTE: If the tooltip on trended data points displays Reduced value, it indicates that the volume of logged data is substantial. To accommodate this and for a more effective display, the average value of the data is displayed. - Editing tools:
- Zoom: Enable and disable zooming directly in the trend with your mouse.
- Edit: Open and close the Edit trend side pane.
- More: Delete, export, or print the trend.
