Time Series data timeline

Graphical representation of a time series data timeline.

How it works

Time Series Timeline widget Time Series Timeline widget

This widget facilitates the visualization of value changes in a field over time within a time series.

Each timeline will display the group, the field, and the represented value, arranged as follows:

  • Group
  • Field
  • Value

Grouping

Time Series Timeline grouped information Time Series Timeline grouped information

By enabling the grouping of timelines, you can view all represented states on a single timeline (without separation).

When the data is grouped, the representation of the timeline changes, displaying the value on the same timeline, and each bar will contain the following:

  • Group
  • Field

Resume

Time Series Timeline information resume Time Series Timeline information resume

With the summary panel, you can observe the total time each value has been maintained.

General

  • Refresh Frequency: allows configuring the data refresh frequency displayed in the list.

  • Title: widget title. It can be configured to remain fixed in the widget or only be displayed when it receives focus.

  • About: widget description in Markdown format.

  • Organization + Time Series provides data of the time series to be queried.

  • Start date field specifies which date-type column should be used to indicate the beginning of the period (*).

  • End date field specifies which date-type column should be used to indicate the end of the period (*).

  • Identifier field tells the widget which column to use for data grouping.

(*) If both dates use the same field, the start of the next state will be used to calculate the period.

Lastly, columns must be configured to extract data to display on the graph. For each of these and the group/identifier, a graph will be generated.

For each piece of data, the following can be configured:

  • Alias specifies a representative name for the column data on the graph.
  • Color provides a way to distinguish data within the graph.
  • Formatter tool is a tool that treats each piece of data individually, allowing for modifications and/or calculations before displaying it on the graph. For example, you can convert numerical data into discrete data for representation.
  • Remove will remove the column from the configuration.

Advanced

In this section, various filters that will be applied to queries will be configured, regardless of what the user may wish to filter subsequently.
