 This section is about editing Chart displays. Get more background on Chart Displays here. 


Learn to edit Chart displays. To create a brand new Chart display, use the dropZone or Workbench.

Name section

The Name section is the top few lines of the display editor panel.

It is used to Name, Copy, Save and Delete your Displays. Read more about the display editor name section.

Tabs section

The middle part of the editor panel holds tabs with content and formatting options.

These tabs have a natural progression to them, moving from left to right. That is, you typically select your Data, then stylistic Settings, and so forth. That being said, you can always move freely between tabs.


Use the Preview tab to see exactly how your Widget looks at any point.

Tab:
Chart Styles Options


Use this tab to select a particular series in the Chart and customize its appearance.

The available options vary depending on the chart style selected in the
Chart Styles
tab.

Options may include:

  • Color
  • Line Style
  • Label
  • Axis placement



In addition to the customizations, there are buttons to:

  • Remove the selected series from the chart
  • Add other series to the chart. Any series that are currently check-marked in the workbench are inserted.
    How To: Add Series to a Display
  • Add calculated series to the chart.


Use the New Calculated Series feature for simple overlays like Moving Averages and Percent Changes - easier than a formal calculation if you just need a quick chart enhancement.
