This content item plots one or more field values of an asset over a period of time.

Note: This section describes the line chart content item in the Event Visualization category. For details on the line chart content item in the Visualization category, see Line Chart in the Visualization section.

Configure the following properties for this content item:

• In the Basic tab:

  • Follow asset context - When this is enabled:

    • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's asset context as its data source. For details, see Create a new visualization.

    • If this content is in an experience, it uses the navigation item's asset reference as its data source. For details, see the Add content to a pane section in Add content to panes in your navigation items.

  • Asset - If Follow asset context is disabled, select the asset to represent with this content item. To display data, the selected asset must have events.

    You can search for assets by name, by filter, or both.

    • To search by asset name, enter a value in the Asset field.

    • To apply filters, select the Asset field, then select to view and select filters. Select to accept your selected filters and return to the previous search panel.

    • Select an asset from the search results to add it.

  • Follow time context - When this is enabled:

    • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's time context as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Create a new visualization.

    • If this content is in an experience, it uses the time selected in the time selector content item as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Add a time selector.

  • Time - If Follow time context is disabled, select the time range for the data displayed in the content item.

  • Event Type - The type of event to chart. Only event types associated with the selected asset are displayed.

  • Period - The period for filtering event data. This property only appears when you select an event type with period options and its period field is not empty.

  • Aggregation Type - The calculation method for the data displayed in the chart.

  • Field - The field to display. The values in this list are based on the selected event type. They are numeric-type fields, including timespan data-type fields. The selected field represents the y-axis, which is the aggregation of any numeric field.

  • Group By - How the events are organized. The values in this list are based on the selected event type. They are datetime fields, excluding auditing fields like lastModified and createdDate.

• In the Advanced tab:

  • Title - The title that displays for this content item. This property is only available in grid visualizations; content items do not display titles in canvas visualizations or experiences.

  • Show legend - Display the legend.

  • Show Label - Display data labels.

    If the chart has too much data and labels would be unreadable, labels are not displayed. If the period is adjusted to display less data, the labels display.

  • Y-Axis - The chart's y-axis representation. Select from:

    • Single - Display selected field data in a single y-axis, organized by categories based on the Group by setting.

    • Multi - Display each selected field on a different y-axis, where each axis denotes the maximum and minimum value of the selected fields, organized by categories based on the Group by setting.

    • Stacked - Display each of the selected fields on the y-axis, stacked vertically or horizontally (depending on the chart type selection) and organized by categories based on the Group by setting.
