Line Charts

Line charts can display changes in metrics across time or progress across a series of stages.

Line charts have the following sections: Metrics, Trend by, Segment by, and Configuration.

If you configure the Trend by section and add Date or Attribute, you display a trend line. Trend lines connect individual metric/attribute values.

In line charts, you can also:

• Display the values as a percentage. You must add Dates or Attributes to the Trend by section.
• Display individual values of an attribute. Add an attribute to the Segment by section and must have only a single item in the Metrics section.
• Display the chart as a continuous line even if some values are missing. To do so, check the Continuous line checkbox in the Configuration > Canvas section. If checked, the line skips the missing value and connects the next available value.
• Compare your data to previous period or same period of the previous year. For details, see Time over Time Comparison.
• Slice your data by Date or Attribute. You must add Date or an Attribute to the View by section.
• Display a secondary y-axis on the right side. You must select the show on right axis checkbox in the metric settings.
