Time Series Insights

The Time Series Insights block is an interactive UI component that visualizes a large amount of time-oriented data. Time Series Insights allows comparing data at run-time based on asset ID by dropping markers on the chart, as well as panning and zooming, and can show and hide specific assets or parameters via the hierarchy panel. Time Series Insights connects directly to Azure through its Environment FQDN, Tenant Id, Client Id, and Client Secret. For more details, visit the official Azure Time Series Insights documentation.

This determines the default value for the Interval Size slider. The slider allows you to fine-tune the granularity of the displayed data. The displayed line chart data will be averaged over this interval.

This determines the starting date for the Pan & Zoom. The end date of the Time Series Chart is determined by the row with the latest timestamp. The Pan & Zoom range will update automatically with live data.
Initial Selection
This determines the time interval that is initially selected in the Pan & Zoom component and, correspondingly, the line chart. The selection will always start at the right side of the Pan & Zoom component.
Show Tooltip On Hover
This determines whether a tooltip will appear when the cursor hovers over a line. The tooltip will display the values of the hovered point on the line.
Enable Zoom
Determines whether you can click and select on the chart to zoom into the selection.
Show X Axis

Show Y Axis
This determines whether the y-axis line and labels for the line chart are shown.
Default Y Axis Type
This determines the default Y Axis type, which can be changed at run-time using the button at the top-left corner of the line chart. 
If set to "Stacked" the selected parameters will be separated into different panes stacked vertically. If set to "Shared" the selected parameters will share a single pane with a single y-axis from the lowest to highest values in any line. If set to "Overlap", the selected parameters will share a single pane with multiple y-axes, with the lowest and highest value of each line chart displayed on the axis at the bottom and top.
Show Dots
Determines whether the points on the lines will display as dots.
