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.

Properties

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

Below is a description of the properties of the Line chart.

Element	Description
Title	Text box that enables you to edit the title of the line chart.
Tooltip	Text box that enables you add a text that will be displayed as tooltip when the user hovers the mouse over the chart title in the published process app.
Field shown on the x-axis	Combo box that enables you to select the field for which you want to display the values on the X-axis. Note: You can select the new Timeframe filter as a field for the x-axis of a line chart or a KPI chart. When a business user selects a different timeframe the x-axis on the chart will change accordingly.
Metrics	List of metrics selected to be displayed on the Y-axis of the line chart. Use the Add metric option to select multiple metrics to be available from the metric selector. Drag and drop the metrics in the list to arrange the metrics as desired. Note: You must at least select one metric for the line chart. If you select multiple metrics, the first metric will be displayed on the Y-axis by default.
