  2. Click on “Save”.
  3. Click on “Yes”.

Hiding and Showing Legends in a Widget

Legends are an element that explains what a particular color stands for in a graph. The image below is a good example.

Setting the Maximum and Minimum Boundaries of the Widget’s Y-Axis

The y-axis in a graph is the vertical axis that runs from the bottom to the top. They represent a numerical value. This is where the Y-axis stands on a widget:

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 on “Save”.
  4. Click on “Yes”.

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.
