Configure a time series table

Use the Format Time Series Table pane to customize the time series table's columns and rows.

The table symbol contains columns for the time and value of a data item.

1. Right-click the time series table and click Configure Time Series Table to open the Configure Time Series Table pane.

2. Under Rows, enter the Maximum Count of rows of data to show.

3. Under Time select the format and offset for the time range:

   • Under Format, select the format for the displayed times.

   • Under Start and End Times, adjust the time for the data displayed:

     • Display time range: Set the trend time range to what is configured for the overall display. Trends configured with the Display time range option update when you change the display time. Conversely, changing the trend's time range by panning or zooming the trend will also update the display time.

     • Duration and Offset: Set the time range for the data displayed in the trend (in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months) and the offset from the overall display's end time (in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months). Trends configured with the Duration and Offset option update when you change the display time. Updating the time range for a trend configured with the Duration and Offset option by panning or zooming the trend detaches it from the display's time.

     • Use custom time range: Set a custom start time and end time for the trend. Relative PI Time is also acceptable (Y, T, *,*, -8h, etc.). Trends configured with the Use custom time range option do not update when you change the display time.

4. Under Value, select how the values of the data item display:

   • Format: Select the format for numerical values.

   • Alignment: Select Left, Center, or Right alignment.

   • Show units: Show the unit of measurement.

   • Wrap text: Wrap text to the next line.

5. Under Font, select your preferred font from the Name dropdown.

   Note: If the selected font is not installed on a user’s system, an alternative font will be used by the browser. Roboto and Roboto Slab are installed with PI Vision, so will display consistently for all users.

   To change the font size:

   • Select or enter a size in the Size dropdown.

   • Use the Increase Font Size and Decrease Font Size buttons to change the size incrementally.

6. Under Style, select the table style that best accommodates your work environment.

   Choose from default, light, or dark.

7. If you want to reset all the settings in the pane to the default settings, select Reset to default.

8. If you want to save the current settings as the default settings for time series tables, select Save as default. The saved settings are applied by default when a user creates a new time series table, and they are applied when a user selects Reset to default in this pane.

   Note: You must have administrator privileges to save defaults.

9. Click the down arrow at the top of the pane and then click Add Navigation Link to add a navigation link to the symbol.
