• Period buttons: D, M and Y show a day, a month or a year.
• Date picker: the arrows move one period back or forward, and a click on the date opens a calendar. You cannot pick a future date.
• Dashboard date control: the chart follows the date in the Dashboard top bar.
• Magnifier icon: turns zoom on or off. The mouse wheel zooms the time axis, and the slider below the chart moves it.
• Download icon: saves the data as an Excel file with the name of the tile.
• Line and bar icons: change the chart to lines or to bars. The chart keeps your choice.
• Table view: shows the values as a table, with a button that saves the table as an Excel file.
• No data: if the period has no readings, the chart shows No Data For Selected Date.

Settings

The spanner icon on the tile opens these settings.
