Adjusting Visualization Properties

You generally don’t need to change visualization properties as the default selections cover most cases. You might want to make adjustments such as hiding the legend, or changing axis labels.

To adjust properties for a visualization:

  1. In the active visualization toolbar, click Actions, and then select Properties to display the Properties dialog.
  2. On the General tab, select the options to specify title formatting and enable and position the legend for the visualization.
  3. In the dialog, click the Axis tab.
  4. On the Axis tab, select options that affect the axis label titles and the axes start and end values.
  5. In the dialog, click the Values tab.
  6. On the Values tab, select the appropriate options to specify how you want values handled in the visualization.

  7. In the dialog, click the Analytics tab.
  8. On the Analytics tab, click Add and then select Add Reference Line to set reference lines and bands that display at minimum or maximum values of a measure included in the visualization. You can also select Add Trend Line.
