### Working with Charts

There are several operations you can do when you work with charts in the Charts tab and in other areas of Datapage+ where charts may also be used. Many of them involve using the mouse.

Here are some operations you can do when you work with Run Charts in DataMonitor+'s Run Chart View Mode:

Chart Operation | Operation Description | Performing the Operation
Zoom in and out (stretch operation) | This zooms in and out on a portion of the chart. This is more of a stretch operation, than a true zoom; because it increases the distance in between individual data points, making them appear farther apart and therefore more readable. The software attempts to zoom in on the location of your mouse cursor.

- Not recommended for the AT&T Test chart and the Stats and Capability chart; doing so behaves much like the traditional zoom operation.

- This also works inside of the Feature Monitor tab's plot chart mode.

To Zoom Out:

1. Hover the mouse over the chart.

2. Click the Edit icon from the toolbar if available.

3. Hold down CTRL and push your mouse's scroll wheel away from you. Depending on the chart type, Datapage+ may take a little while to process the zoom request.

To Zoom In:

1. Hover the mouse over the chart.

2. Click the Edit icon from the toolbar if available.

3. Hold down CTRL and pull your mouse's scroll wheel toward you. Depending on the chart type, Datapage+ may take a little while to process the zoom request.

You can also use CTRL + DOWN ARROW to zoom in and CTRL + UP ARROW to zoom out.

Zoom in and out (traditional zoom) | This zooms in and out on a portion of a chart or any report page. This is more like using a magnifying glass. The graphical lines, dots, and text increases in size as you zoom in. The software attempts to zoom in on the location of your mouse cursor. | To Zoom In and Out:

1. Click the Pan and Zoom icon on the toolbar.

2. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the entire screen.

1. - Pushing the mouse wheel away from you zooms in on the chart.

   - Pulling the mouse wheel towards you zooms out of the chart.

   You can also use CTRL + DOWN ARROW to zoom in and CTRL + UP ARROW to zoom out.

Click 100% icon to reset to the page to its default size.

Reset | This returns a stretch-zoomed item back to normal. | Press CTRL and then double-click on the chart.
Zoom in and out on just one chart | This zooms in on one particular chart, or on a portion of a stretch-zoomed chart, causing it to fill the window. | Click the Zoom One Chart icon to zoom in. Click the icon again the return to multiple chart views per page. Alternately, you can double-click on the chart. Double-click on the chart.
Reset Zoom | If you used the right-mouse drag operation to zoom in on the chart, this resets the zoom level to the default size. | Double-click on the chart.
Pan | This pans (or moves) the chart. This is useful when you're zoomed in on a portion of a chart or page and would like to see another portion of the chart or page without zooming out and then zooming back in. | When panning, the underlying chart is moved in the direction you drag the mouse.

- If you're zoomed in on a chart using the stretch zoom, hold CTRL and then click and drag the left mouse button.

- If you're using the normal enlarge zoom, you need to first select the Pan icon from the toolbar and then click and drag the left mouse

Cycle Pages | This moves through different pages of your chart. | If in General Mode:

- Push the mouse wheel away from you to go back a page.

- Pull the mouse wheel towards you to move forward a page.

Or use the Page Up, Page Down, and Page X of Y icons.

If in Book Mode:

- Double-click on the left page to go back a page.

- Double click on the right page to go forward a page.

Or use the Page Up, Page Down, and Page X of Y icons.

Ignoring and Restoring a Data Point | There may be times when you want to ignore a data point so that it doesn't appear on the chart. This is useful for "what-if" type analyses. The software lets you do this by hiding the data point. This only works on the Run chart. | To Hide (Ignore) a Data Point:

1. Click the Edit icon from the toolbar to ensure you're in edit mode.

2. Hover your mouse over a data point. The cursor will change to a yellow circle with target lines.

3. Right-click on the data point and select Ignore/Restore. The software removes the point and draws a small red x in it's place to indicate a removed point.

To Show (Restore) a Data Point:

1. Click the Edit icon from the toolbar to ensure you're in edit mode.

2. Hover your mouse over the red x that indicates a removed data point. The cursor will change to a yellow circle with target lines.

3. Right-click on the data point and select Ignore/Restore. The software restores the point.

Viewing Data Points | Viewing Data Points only works on the Run and Target Individual Plot charts. | To View a Data Point

- Click the Edit icon from the toolbar to ensure you're in edit mode.

- Hover your mouse over a data point. The cursor will change to a yellow circle with target lines, as shown in this enlarged view of a data point. For a Run chart, the transaction information and point data appear next to the point; and for a Target Individual Plot the point data appears.

Note that the point data also appear next to the point as long the mouse hovers over it.

Adding and Editing Causes | Causes are short notes you can add to a chart's data point. The note appears directly above the selected point directly in the chart. This is generally used as a way to display why a point was marked as ignored. Working with causes only works on the Run chart. | To Add a Cause on a Data Point

- Click the Edit icon from the toolbar to ensure you're in edit mode.

- Hover your mouse over a data point.

- Right-click on the data point and choose Select Cause. A small Cause Selection dialog box appears letting you select the cause from the drop-down list.

- Click OK. the software adds the note directly below the selected point in the chart.

To Edit or Remove a Cause on a Data Point:

1. Click the Edit icon from the toolbar to ensure you're in edit mode.

2. Hover your mouse over a data point. The cursor will change to a yellow circle with target lines.

3. Right-click on the data point and choose Select Cause. The Cause Selection dialog box will appear with the previous cause's text selected.

4. To edit the cause, choose a new one from the drop-down list. To remove the cause, choose the empty cause item.

5. Click OK. The cause is edited or removed.

To Create or Edit a Cause Code:

Causes can be defined or edited by a user with administrator privileges using the Cause Codes tab under the Data Editor tab.
