Plot snapshots on charts

You can use data from snapshots to build charts. To do it, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the data (see Prepare data for charting).
  2. On the Visualizations tab, add the chart of the required type.
  3. Right-click on the chart and select the Properties option. In the Properties window, open the Series tab.
  4. In the Data Source field, select Snapshots Periodic Data or Snapshots Summary Data, and then select the variable to plot.
  5. The Display By field will be automatically set to Snapshot Name. This is the only available option.
  6. Save the settings and close the Properties window, and the chart will be displayed as shown below.

Note: Page-level filters using properties are not available for snapshot charts.

Note: If you rename snapshots after you have built the chart, these changes will not be automatically shown. To update the chart, you will need to repeat the data preparation process.
