User guide for creating a series, adding measures, and using their history in DataJot.

Updated on September 6, 2026

DataJot records numeric values over time, then lets you review them as charts, statistics, lists, or exports.

Get started

From the dashboard, add a series from a template or with your own settings.
Open the series and add its first measure.
Add more measures, then change the chart period to see how they evolve.

See Create a series, Add a measure, and Read charts and statistics for the available settings.
