A Sparkline<\/em> is a small Chart component without gridlines, often used to show data trends amidst text (in a table) or alongside images, labels and lines in a process mimic or schematic.<\/p>\n

In Explorer, you can add a sparkline as part of a process mimic or schematic, or you can add it to a Table Layout to trend related data in a table.<\/p>\n

Each sparkline on a Precision or Grid Layout is individually configured, whereas the sparkline on a Table Layout is a single, configured chart that is repeated over the rows of the Table Layout. In a Table Layout, the sparkline uses contextual data from the Table Layout's dataset so that each sparkline represents data for its row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configuring a Sparkline<\/h2>\n

To configure a sparkline, first you need to first configure a line chart<\/strong> to use data that has values over time, as your sparkline represents a trend. Refer to the Charts tutorial<\/a> for detailed instructions on configuring a chart.<\/p>\n

When you have the chart set up, you then need to configure its appearance to look like a sparkline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • A single Line Series<\/li>\n
  • The X Axis uses time (e.g. hours, weeks, months)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
