Historic

Historic charts allow for more customization over the default Location and Parameter charts available in Chart View. You can create multiple y-axes with fixed or automatic scaling, change the data aggregation and styles of individual parameters and preset the default time range.

Y Axes

You can create unlimited y-axes to be displayed on the chart.

Click the Edit button to show and modify the configuration for each y-axes. Use the Add Y axis button to create a new axis. Axes can be removed via the dropdown menu (accessible by clicking the menu button on the top-right corner of the axis item).

Y-axes can be linear with automatic or fixed minimum and maximum ranges or displayed with logarithmic scaling.

Drag and drop axes in the list to change their display order on the chart.

Note

By default, links are automatically assigned to the first y-axis. You need to Edit each link and specify a Y axis.


Security

The Security section displays a list of all users and groups that have access to the Node. Users with security permission can restrict user and group access to the node and its descendants by assign the No Access role.

New users and groups must be added via the Workspace Security section.

Note

The Account Owner, Administrators or Workspace users/groups that have been assigned a Workspace role with the configure permission can not be assigned the No Access role.


Public Access

Enabling public access allows anyone to view the node (attachment, chart, dash, report or historic data) using the generated URL.

You can also embed charts and dashboards into your own website with basic HTML. Select Copy embed HTML from the URL dropdown menu for a generic code snippet (you will need to paste this in to your website). You can also revoke and replace the automatically assigned URL by selecting the Generate new URL option in the menu.

Use the available options to customize the URL based on your display preferences. These options are transient and you can use multiple variations of the URL at the same time.

Note

This feature is not included in Starter accounts.


Copy/Paste Charts

icon-paste Copy/Paste operations can be performed from the Workspaces Tree to quickly duplicate one or more charts. Links are automatically re-assigned to corresponding Nodes relative to the chart if they exist at the destination. ie. You can copy/paste complete Locations containing charts without manually re-assigning all Links.

Move Charts

icon-move Moving a chart within a Workspace will keep existing links. Moving a chart between Workspaces will invalidate any Link where the linked node is not available in the destination Workspace.
