Trends
General
Trends include attributes and KPIs and are listed in the bottom section of the legend panel. The color label corresponds with the color shown in the trend section of the chart.
The legend tools allows users to interact with the chart in real time.
Select, show/hide, alias, change color, change line mode, and remove trends via the legend.
The bottom toolbar is disabled until one or more trends are selected. The toolbar allows you to interact with multiple trends at once.

Set the chart y-axis mode to Combined or Auto Scale by clicking the dropdown in the footer of the legend.
Combined mode takes the trend data overall minimum and maximum to set the y-axis range. The chart’s y-axis labelling is always shown in gray.
Auto Scale mode will render trends to always take up the available room on the chart. The y-axis labelling is hidden until you select a single trend. When shown, the y-axis labelling will be specific to the selected trend and will use the same color.
