Measures

A measure is a dated numeric value that belongs to a series.

Add a measure step by step

1. Open the series from the dashboard.
2. Select the add measure button.
3. Enter a numeric value.
4. Check the date and time, then select Save.

DataJot uses the current date by default. To add an older value, enter when it was actually recorded: this date determines its position in the chart and whether it is included in statistics.

Correct a measure

1. Open the series, then choose All Measures from its menu.
2. Select the measure and its Edit action.
3. Correct the value or date, then save.

Editing replaces the existing measure and does not create a second one. It is available from the full measure list, not directly from the chart.

Delete a measure

From All Measures, use the Delete action for the relevant value. Deletion is immediate and changes any charts and statistics that included the measure.

Delete all history without deleting the series

Open the series menu, select Delete All Measures, then confirm. This action is irreversible but keeps the series and its settings.

If you only need to remove one incorrect value, delete that measure instead of the entire history.

Browse the measure list

The list shows the values that were actually recorded with their dates and can be sorted in either chronological direction. Older measures load progressively as you browse a long history.

Raw measures and displayed values

A raw measure is a recorded value. The chart can group several measures according to the series aggregation.

Several values added on the same day can therefore produce one total or average in the chart. The CSV export keeps the raw measures.
