Description

Title Contents

Define what should be shown in the Chart Title area.

  • Auto Title: Display a title that is automatically generated based on the fields used in the chart. Note: only available for Auto Charts.
  • Report Name: Display the report name as the title of the chart.
  • Animation Field: Display the value of the animation field for each frame as the chart title.
  • Metric: Display the name of the currently selected series as the chart title. 
    Note: the chart has to be a single metric series selection. This means that it can only display one metric at a time. To do this just add one metric to the chart and then enable series selection, rather than adding all metrics and allowing users to toggle multiple at a time.
  • Custom: Display a custom defined chart title.
  • None: Hide the chart title.

Custom Title

Display a custom defined chart title.

Style

Use the system default formatting for the chart title text, or customize with your preferred typeface, font size, font decoration, font color and text alignment.

Hide Title

When this toggled is enabled, it will hide the title from the chart. It is the title on top of the chart itself that is hidden.

When a chart title is entered, the title can be seen when selecting a chart during creation of dashboard, story, and presentation, regardless whether the title is hidden or not.
