Data Binding Specifics

You need to provide a date-time or numeric dimension 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.

To manage sparkline settings, click the Options button (the icon) displayed next to the data item container. In the invoked Card Settings dialog, go to the Sparkline Options tab:
