Hi everyone!
We're excited to announce a new feature that was recently released for the Advanced Chart widget. The widget now includes support for configuring the data aggregation method.
But what does it mean?
The chart widgets come with a smart implicit feature known as data aggregation. To prevent the chart from becoming too messy with an excess of data points, there is a fixed limit of data points per chart:
- If the number of data points to show is lower than the maximum number of data points, there is no aggregation.
- If the number of data points to show is bigger than the maximum number of data points, data is aggregated.
Before this update, there was only an implicit aggregation method, which was the average.
With this new Advanced Chart widget feature, you can now choose the aggregation method that suits your needs. Options include Average, Max Value, and Min Value:
- Average: Calculates the average of the data for each aggregation period.
- Max Value: Uses the maximum value within the aggregation period.
- Min Value: Uses the minimum value within the aggregation period.
This enhancement is a direct result of the feedback from our community. It's a feature that has long been requested by users, and we're happy to finally deliver it.
