Line charts

Introduction

Line charts can be used to split data over different periods to show trends over time. The following illustration shows an example of a line chart.

In a line chart you select the that field for which you want to display values on the X-axis. The Y-axis is used to display the variable values. By default the metric displayed on the Y-axis is the record count. If you want to display a different value, you can choose a different metric.

You can edit the properties of a line chart in the Edit line chart panel. See the illustration below.
