Traces & Axes

Traces & Axes

Each tag added to a trend becomes a trace, a colored line on the chart. The trace panel on the right side of the detail page manages which tags are plotted and how they are scaled.

Adding & Removing Traces

Use the tag search at the top of the trace panel to find and add tags. Each new trace is automatically assigned a color from a 10-color palette. Click a trace's color swatch to change it using preset swatches or a full color picker.

Each trace has its own actions menu: move it to another axis, change its color, or remove it. On an existing trend, adding or removing traces, changing a trace color, and adding, removing, or editing an axis all save automatically. While building a brand-new trend, these changes are held until you click Save.

Multiple Y-Axes

By default, all traces share a single Y-axis. If your tags have different scales (e.g. temperature in degrees and pressure in PSI), add another axis from the actions menu at the top of the trace panel.

Axis Configuration

Each axis header has an actions menu. Renaming, the side of the chart the axis sits on, its color, and deleting it are all in that menu; the scale limits open from it:

SettingDescriptionDefault
LabelDisplay name shown on the chartAxis 1, Axis 2, etc.
PositionLeft or Right side of the chartLeft
Min / MaxHard limits: the axis never exceeds these boundsAuto
Suggested Min / MaxSoft limits: preferred range, but the axis expands if data requires itAuto
ColorCustom color for the axis title and tick labelsTheme default

Clearing the limits from the menu returns the axis to fitting its own data.

Assigning Traces to Axes

With two or more axes, the trace panel switches to a grouped view. Traces in each group share that axis's scale. Reassign a trace from its actions menu, or drag it between groups.

The left axis displays grid lines; right axes show ticks and labels only. Each axis is color-coded to match its traces.
