Charts, statistics, and thresholds

Understand charts, statistics, visualization configurations, thresholds, and Y-axis bounds.

Updated on September 6, 2026

A series detail screen turns its measures into a chart and indicators for the selected period.

Read charts and statistics

The chart groups measures according to the period, granularity, and series aggregation. Available statistics are minimum, maximum, average, median, sum, and count.

Changing the period recalculates the chart and statistics for the displayed values. If the result looks inconsistent, check the period and aggregation before editing measures.

Ranges and granularities

The range defines the period being viewed; granularity determines how measures are grouped within it.

  • a day is grouped by hour;
  • a week can be grouped by hour or day;
  • a month can be grouped by day or week;
  • six months can be grouped by week or month;
  • a year is grouped by month.

The date bar also lets you display the previous or next period.

Visualization configurations

A visualization configuration groups visible statistics, reference lines, thresholds, colors, and Y-axis bounds. It can be associated with several series, so editing it affects each of those series.

A series template can already include a suitable configuration.

Create a visualization configuration

  1. Open visualization configurations from the main navigation.
  2. Select Add, then choose a custom configuration.
  3. Choose the statistics to display.
  4. Add the required thresholds and set Y-axis bounds if you want a fixed scale.
  5. Save the configuration.
  6. Edit a series to associate it with this configuration.

The chart type remains a setting of the series itself.

Use thresholds

A threshold associates an operator and value with a color and optional label. DataJot tests thresholds in their configured order and uses the first match. Put the threshold that should apply before other conditions that could also match.

Stabilize the Y-axis

Set a lower bound, upper bound, or both to compare several periods with a stable scale. The minimum bound must remain lower than the maximum.

Current limitation: automatic Y-axis and statistic line options do not have a visible effect in every display. Use explicit bounds when a stable scale is required.
