Explorer Chart Interaction

The following information defines how to interact with generated charts to obtain specific point data information. You should already be on the Explorer screen in Fusion with points charted for these directions.

Note: The directions below apply to both line and bar charts.

Viewing Selected Point-Data Timestamp Information

To see point-data timestamp information, hover your mouse pointer over an area in the chart. A crosshair tool will display, indicating your precise location in the chart and providing the specific date and time stamp associated with your chosen location. Moving the mouse about the chart dynamically updates data and the time stamp, at the top of the legend, based on new positions.

Selecting and Deselecting Point Data

The default setting for generated charts is for all selected points to be displayed. 

To isolate a specific point for viewing, click the colored icon for the point(s) in the chart legend.

Those points become inactive, and the chart dynamically updates to display the selected point(s).

Note: To return to the charts default state, click the "View Toggle" icon in the top left corner of the charts legend.

Viewing a Singular Timestamp Value in Charts

To view specific date/time values for all the points, hover your mouse over the desired timestamp and click once.

The chart legend will list the values for all displayed point(s) for the associated date and time.

Clicking a different spot on the chart allows you to mouse the mouse about the chart to dynamically update values based on new positions in the date interval.
