How to change the chart type

Use tooltips to help you explain the chart to your colleagues.

Chart_Type_1.4.0 (1)-20241213-105741.gif

The settings are almost the same across all three charts (Cycle Time Histogram, Time in Status Cycle Time, and Cycle Time Trend), so you do not need to re-setup them when changing the chart type.

“Save”

Save the gadget when you finish the configuration to avoid missing data.
