Profile component

Use the Profile chart component to show the characteristic curve of a point or function, and to identify anomalies for a given day, week, month, or year. You can also use the Profile component to compare a year, month, week, or day with another time period or reference value.

You can use the Profile component to present data in a:

• Column chart
• Column-Line chart
• Dashed Line
• Line chart
• Stacked column chart
• Table

Profile components are configured to sample data based on the selected time interval, set in the Profile Type box. When Profile Type is set to Daily, the x-axis will use a 24-hour period sampled every hour. When Profile Type is set to Weekly, the x-axis will use a 7-day period sampled every day of the week (Mon-Sun). When the Profile Type is set to Monthly, the x-axis will use a one month period sampled every day of the month (1-31). Yearly is also an option, providing an output for each month of the year.

When viewing a Profile line chart online, you can:

• Zoom into particular areas of the chart by clicking and dragging a selecting area in the line chart. The chart will zoom into the area you have selected.
• Scroll right and left through a zoomed area using the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the graph.
• Hover over points in a line chart to view a flyout that contains the y-axis value
• If a legend is included, click a data series name in the legend to view or hide the related line in the chart.
• Click the Switch to Pin Mode icon to select a section of the graph and drag it to another part of the graph in order to overlay the two line sections. This makes it easier to directly compare two sections of a line graph.
• Zoom out one level by clicking the Zoom out one level icon.
• Reset the zoom of the chart by clicking Reset Chart icon.
