The Interval Billing Graph displays three sets of data and uses color to distinguish between them. Red is used for the interval quantities. The Y-axis shows the range of values plotted under the column UOM. Blue is used for the prices that are coming from the interval billing factor values. The Y-axis shows the range of values plotted under the column Price. Green is used for the resulting calculation at each interval of quantity multiplied by price. The Y-axis shows the range of values plotted under the column Cost. For all three curves, the X-axis shows the date for each interval.

Controlling Which Graphs Are Displayed

All three sets of data are displayed initially, however, you may control which sets of data are displayed by clicking the UOM, Price, or Cost legend markers on the top of the interval graph. For example to view only the Price graph, click the UOM and Cost legend markers.

To redisplay the UOM and Cost graphs, click the respective legend markers again.

Drilling Down In the Graph

While the graph is displayed, you may click a group item (such as, the a date on the x-axis) to drill down into more detail. For example, clicking the group item will drill down to a small number of days.

You can display hour-by-hour information by clicking further.

At this point, if you click on one of the bars, you will be taken to the appropriate interval data set page to view the interval data itself.
