Chart configuration

The global settings that affect the layout of the chart as a whole. These settings do not influence what is drawn but just how things are drawn. Following tables describe the settings

Setting	Description
Axis	The axis on which the data is shown
Axis reference system	An axis reference system defined on the axis specified above on which the data is shown.
Comparison axis reference system	An axis reference system defined on the axis specified above that is used as second X axis for additional information
Position	Select from •Start offset •End Offset •Middle
Filter from	Only observations with a position (see above) that is within Filter from and filter to will be charted. From and to values for the filter are defined with reference to the used Axis reference system.
Filter to
Header	A single line of text printed as chart header above the chart
Sub Header	A single line of text printed directly beneath the header
Header line	A single line of text printed above the chart
Footer line	A single line of text printed below the chart
Show data filter	Defines if a textual representation of the data filter is displayed on the chart.
Date formatting	Manual \| Automatic
Manual date format	Defines the format used for displaying data & time values. You can choose from a list of predefined formats. •MM-DD •MM-DD-HH •DD HH;MM •HH:MM:SS
Manual offset	If not set the date & time values shown on the chart are shown with the current date time offset of the Application Server's time zone. If set date & time values are shown with the specified offset. The offset is given in minutes.
Include erroneous observations	Defines if the chart will show observations marked as erroneous or not.
Series coloring	Defines how series are colored. You can choose from a predefined list of options •Determine from feature connection •Use color palette
Naming of time series	This setting defines how the name of a time series is displayed (e.g. in legend). You can choose from a predefined list of options. •Feature type + feature + property •Feature + property •Property

Table 1: General settings for the chart type

Setting	Description
Grid Color	The color of the grid lines
Show horizontal grid lines	Defines if horizontal grid lines (parallel to X-Axis) are shown
Show vertical grid lines	Defines if vertical grid lines (parallel to Y-Axis) are shown

The chart legend can be used to describe the time series presented in a chart. Several settings are available to define where and how the legend is displayed. Table 3 lists these settings.

Setting	Description
Show legend	Defines if a legend will be shown or not. The legend will contain entries for all time series Only time series that are not hidden will be shown
Legend location	Defines where the legend will be shown in the chart. Options are left, right, top or bottom. Note that the client displaying the chart might limit the number of legend entries.
Show units in legend	If true the units of the time series will be shown in the legend entries.

The value over time chart type allows the definition of up to 10 sub-graphs. Each sub-graph can be configured separately. Table 1 shows the settings available for each sub-graph. Each sub-graph contains settings for the left and right Y axis of that sub-graph. These settings are described in Table 2

Setting name	Description
Name	Name of the sub-graph. This name will be shown on the Y axis of the sub-graph.
Height	Defines the height of the sub-graph. The height of the sub-graph in the rendered chart equals a percentage of the total chart height. This percentage is calculated by dividing the specified height value with the sum of all height values defined for sub-graphs that have associated pins.
Settings for left Y axis	See Table 5
Settings for right Y axis	See Table 5
Scaling for X axis	Automatic, Fixed using the from to filter

Table 4: Global chart settings available for each of the 10 sub-graphs

Setting name	Description
Logarithmic scaling	Name of the sub-graph. This name will be shown on the Y axis of the sub-graph.
Color	The relative height of the sub-graph in relation to the total height of the chart.
Scaling Method	Defines how the axis is scaled, i.e. the minimum and maximum value that is shown on the axis. You can choose from a list of predefined options: Fixed: Uses the settings scaling minimum value and scaling maximum value to specify the scaling. Min-Auto: Uses the setting scaling minimum value for the lower boundary of scaling. The upper boundary is automatically determined based on the time series that are bound to the axis.. Auto-Max: Uses the setting scaling maximum value for the upper boundary of scaling. The lower boundary is automatically determined based on the time series that are bound to the axis.. Minimum interval: Uses the settings scaling minimum value and scaling maximum value to specify the scaling. If however the time series contain data that is out of these bounds the scaling will be automatically adapted.
Scaling Min value	Defines the minimum value for scaling
Scaling Max value	Defines the maximum value for scaling
