Data Fields

The visual has 9 data fields for different capabilities. For basic functionalities only the first two are needed

X-Axis

The data field added here is used as a shared X-Axis for all plots. The datatype must be numeric or date. Null values are not supported.

Plot Values

Data fields that contain y-Values. For each data field a separate plot is created. The data type must be numeric. Null values will be ignored. Maximum data fields: 20.

Plot Overlay Length

Length data for creating overlay rectangles or lines for individual plots. Values must be numeric and specify the length of the rectangle in data points of the X-Axis. For example when the value 11 is specified at data position 8, an overlay rectangle is created from the position of the 8-th x-value until the position of the 19-th x-value. Null values are ignored

Plot Overlay Width

Specifies the size of an overlay rectangle in y-direction. At each position where a numeric value was provided for Plot Overlay Length the size in y-direction must be provided. All other values should be null.

Tooltips

Contains data that is displayed in a custom tooltip when hovering over a data point. The order of the tooltips matches the order of the data fields. Supported data types: numeric, date, text.

Color Legend

Text data that is used for creating a color mapping for data points. Each unique text value is mapped to a color and added to the color legend in the bottom of the visual. For plots that use this legend the data points are colored based on the corresponding text value specified here. Null values and empty strings are ignored.

Filter Legends

This column supports numeric or text data that is used to filter all plots using the color legend. For each unique value in the column a legend is appended to the bottom of the visual that can be clicked on to hide all points with the corresponding value. If the data is numeric and contains only 0 and 1 the data is treated as boolean and data points with 1 can be hidden by clicking on the legend. Null values and empty strings are ignored.

Visual overlay

This data column is used to draw a background over all plots in different colors. The unique values are mapped to a color and added to the legend at the bottom of the visual. The background is then drawn from the corresponding data point on the X-Axis to the next point.

Groupings

This column can be used to add Categories for grouping the rest of the data. The provided data is not used for any other purpose by the visual.
