Time series table

Use a time series table symbol to show the values of a data item arranged sequentially along with their timestamps. The value that appears in this symbol is the reading that is obtained for a data item, shown as a number, timestamp, string, or digital state. If the data item stores a URL, then the symbol shows an active hyperlink in the display. When the underlying data updates, this symbol updates at the next update interval (default 5 seconds).

To add a time series table symbol to a display, select the time series table symbol icon in the Symbol Gallery then drag a data item from the search results onto the display.

To resize columns, hover your mouse cursor over a column separator in the table heading and move the double-arrow cursor to the appropriate width. To change the order that columns appear, click on a column header and drag it left or right. An up (ascending) or down (descending) arrow appears on the column for which the data is sorted. You change the sort order between ascending and descending by selecting that column header, or you can sort the data based on a different column by selecting another column header.
