Chart properties

General configurations

Settings on the General Configurations tab apply to the entire chart.

• Basic configurations

  Parameter	Description
  Title	The chart title.
  Display Title	Shows the chart title when enabled.
  Display Border	Shows a border around the chart when enabled.
  Display Background	Shows a background color for the chart when enabled.
  Display Time	Shows the query time in the chart when enabled.
  Fixed Time	Locks the query and analysis time range so that it is not affected by the dashboard's global time setting.

• Standard configurations

  Parameter	Description
  Format	The display format for numbers.
  Unit	The unit for numbers.
  Number of Digits after Decimal Point	The number of decimal places for numbers.
  Display Name	The display name for the field. This name overrides all other field names in the chart. To rename a specific field, use field configuration.
  Color Scheme	The color scheme for the chart. Built-in: Uses the built-in colors. Solid: Uses a single color. Threshold: Colors the chart based on configured thresholds.

• Threshold

  Parameter	Description
  Threshold Mode	The display mode for thresholds.
  Threshold	The data thresholds. When Color Scheme is set to Threshold, the chart is colored based on the threshold values configured here.

• Value mapping

  Parameter	Description
  Value Mapping	Replaces values in the chart with custom text or icons. For example, if you set Value to 200, Mapping Type to Text, and Mapping Value to Success, all instances of 200 in the chart are replaced with Success.

• Variable replacement

  Parameter	Description
  Variable Replacement	Variable replacement serves as a variable-based filter for a single chart. After you configure it in General Configurations, a filter appears in the upper-left corner of the chart. Selecting a value from the filter replaces the variable in the query and analysis statement and re-runs the query and analysis. For a configuration example, see Example 2: Configure variable replacement.

• Documentation link

  Parameter	Description
  Add Documentation Link	Adds a custom documentation link or description to the upper-right corner of the chart.

Field configuration

The Field Configuration tab lets you customize visual settings for specific query and analysis results or individual data columns, without affecting other parts of the chart.

On the Field Configuration tab, select a target field, such as PV, and then click the drop-down list to add configuration items. The options fall into two groups: Standard Configurations (Format, unit, decimal places, display name, and color scheme) and Column Settings (Min Column Width, Column Width, and Cell Display Mode).

Differences between general configurations and field configuration

Field configurations and general configurations share similar options but differ in scope. General configurations apply to the entire chart, while field configurations target specific query and analysis results or individual data columns.

For example, consider a line chart showing page views (PVs) for two websites over the past hour. To distinguish the two websites, you need different colors and legend names. If you set General Configurations and Display Name in Color Scheme, both lines share the same color and name, making them indistinguishable. Use field configurations to set these properties individually.

• General configurations

  If you set Color Scheme to Solid and Display Name to Access Count, both lines share the same color and legend name.

• Field configuration

  • The configuration for A > pv applies to the line representing the PV column from the results of Query A. You can set its color to red and its legend name to PV for Website A.

  • The configuration for B > pv applies to the line representing the PV column from the results of Query B. You can set its color to yellow and its legend name to PV for Website B.
