The higher we go in the y-axis, the higher the value is. While vice versa, the lower we go in the y-axis, the lower the value is.

You can adjust the maximum (the ceiling) and/or the minimum (the bottom) values of the graph by following these steps:

  1. Under Y-axis bounds, make sure that Value is ticked instead of Automatic.
  2. Input the desired value(s).
  3. Click Save.

Adding and Editing a Marker

A marker is a horizontal line that passes through a graph. A marker is generally used as a target or a minimum score indicator. In the image below, the brown line on the graph that says “Minimum Audit Score” is the marker.
