Trending and Troubleshooting
From the Trending and Troubleshooting page, you can create trends to visualize data for rapid troubleshooting. Use this page to track trends that use tags or properties for a given piece of equipment.
Select a trend in the Trends list to see an overview of the tags and properties included in that trend.
Click

to view details of the selected trend. View selected tags or properties on the trend over varying lengths of time by choosing one of the preset timeframes, or by defining a custom timeframe. On the graph, click and drag vertically or horizontally to zoom in and double-click to zoom out. The selection for each property or tag under the left-or-right axis icon (
