Timeline Chart

Timeline Description:

  • Timeline displays a single metric between two points in time. The length of each item represents the distance between your start and end times.

  • Field 1 - Group - This field represents the Y axis.

  • Field 2 - Metric - This field represents the item charted.

  • Field 3 - Time - This field represents the beginning point from which the metric will be drawn.

  • Field 4 - Time - This field represents the end point to which the metric will be drawn.

  • Notes:

    • Timeline can only display up to a fixed amount of data. If you are not seeing all the data you expect to see, try filtering down your report set - particularly the time dimension.

General Field Definitions:

  • Group - This column can be any data type, aggregated or not aggregated. These columns are used to group data in other columns, and often serve as the axis or scale of a particular visualization.

  • Time - This column must be a Datetime data type.

  • Metric - This column can be any data type. It is generally an aggregate, and most commonly a numeric, but does not have to be. These columns are the elements that are being charted, mapped, or displayed on your visualization.
