Customize the Y-Axis on a Historical Chart

Change the Y-Axis scale and label or add another Y-Axis for a different data source.

For example, you may want to adjust the y-axis scale to focus on the most meaningful data. Or, you may want to add another y-axis if you have a data source that has a different unit of measurement.

To customize the existing y-axis:

  1. In your workspace, locate your historical chart and click on the three dots Configure.
  2. Expand the first listed data source.
  3. Click Show Source Adjustments.
  4. Scroll down to the Show Separate Y-Axis toggle and switch it on. Since this is the existing default y-axis, this will not actually create a separate y-axis.
  5. Edit the settings (label, min, max) and then click Update. The changes will be reflected on the existing y-axis.

To add another y-axis:

  1. In your workspace, locate your historical chart and click on the three dots Configure.
  2. Expand the data source you want to create a separate y-axis for.
    Note: This can't be the first data source, since that is associated to the existing default y-axis.
  3. Click Show Source Adjustments.
  4. Scroll down to the Show Separate Y-Axis toggle and switch it on.
  5. Edit the settings (label, position, min, max) and then click Update. A new y-axis will be added to the chart.

You can move any of the other data sources in your chart to this new y-axis. To do so:

  1. Expand the data source you want to move to the new y-axis.
  2. Click Show Source Adjustments.
  3. Scroll down to the Show Separate Y-Axis toggle and switch it on.
  4. In the Y-Axis drop-down, select the name of the new y-axis.
  5. Then click Update. The data source will now be plotted against the selected y-axis.
Note: The color given to the y-axis label is that of the last data source to be added to it.
