Series
The Chart dashboard item supports different types of series - from simple bar and line charts to candle stick and bubble graphs.
Change Series Type
By default, Chart visualizes data using the Bar series. To switch between series types, click the required data item in the Values section and select the required series type in the invoked data item menu.
Click the ellipsis button to show all available series types.
Configure Series Options
To configure common series options, go to the data item’s Options section.
Here you can specify whether or not to plot the current series on the secondary axis, configure point markers behavior, etc.
The following options are available.
