Sparkline
- 2 minutes to read
A sparkline is a small inline graph used to visualize a series of the actual or target values, typically over time.
To learn how to display the sparkline for different layout types, see Layout.
Data Binding Specifics
You need to provide a date-time or numeric dimension (in the Sparkline section) whose data is used as argument values to display a sparkline within the card.
If you provide both actual and target values, a sparkline visualizes the actual value for each sparkline argument.
Change Sparkline Options
To change sparkline settings in the Web Dashboard’s UI, invoke the Binding menu, click the required data item in the Cards section and go to Sparkline Options in the data item’s menu. The following options are available:
