Zoom in or out (line chart)

You can use a mouse or touch screen to zoom in or out of chart data.

When you zoom in and out, you are affecting the timeframe (horizontal X axis) and not the values (vertical Y axis).

• When you zoom in, you see more detailed data for a smaller timeframe.

• When you zoom out, you see less detail for a longer timeframe.

  Note: If you are using Insight on a touch screen with Microsoft Edge, be sure to adjust the touch screen settings.

To zoom in

1. Hover over the X (horizontal) axis of your line chart to see the pan and zoom controls.

   

2. Click to reduce the timeframe and increase the level of detail displayed.

Or, use one of these methods to zoom in:

• Double-click the chart. The X-axis (horizontal) location that you click will stay stationary and the time increments will expand to the right and left.

• Click the chart and move the mouse wheel forward.

• Double-tap the chart.

• Pinch and move fingers together.

To zoom into a particular area
