6. Add Series — Standard Cartesian
This step is used to display multiple data series on the same standard Cartesian chart. The current series was designed in step 5; here you can view the list, add new series, edit existing series, or delete them.
On the left is the list of added series, on the right is the live chart preview.
Wizard route: /cartography/add/addedseries
Proceeding with a Single Series
You are not required to add a new series. If you are satisfied with the first series from step 5, you can continue directly with Next.
1. Viewing Existing Series
In the left panel, there is a card for each series already added:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Order No | Series order (render priority from top to bottom) |
| Series Name | Legend name |
| Series Color | Color preview (small square) |
| Compass Query | Bound entry name |
| Edit | Re-edit the series |
| Delete | Remove the series from the list |
2. Adding a New Series
Click the Add New Series button below the list. The opened dialog proceeds step by step:
| Sub-step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Compass entry selection (can be the same or different entry as the first series) |
| 2 | Query result loads (sheet selection is also requested if Excel) |
| 3 | Axis mapping — select X/Y axis columns for this series |
| 4 | Series design — color, label, marker, etc. |
| 5 | Added to the list with Apply |
3. Secondary Y Axis
To display two measurements with different units on the same chart (e.g., temperature + pressure), check the Use Secondary Y Axis option in the series' axis mapping step. The secondary axis is rendered on the right.
| Scenario | First Series | Second Series (Secondary Y) |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature + Pressure | °C |
bar |
| Production count + OEE | units |
% |
| Speed + Vibration | RPM |
mm/s |
Secondary Y Limit
The secondary Y axis offers one extra axis; three different units cannot fit on the same chart. Use two separate widgets for 3+ metrics.
4. Editing a Series
When the Edit button on an existing card is pressed, the series design form from step 5 reopens. After making changes, you save with Apply.
5. Deleting a Series
The Delete button removes the series from the list immediately.
If a Single Series Remains
At least one series must remain; you cannot delete all series.
6. Series Order
The order in the list determines the render order on the chart. The series at the top is drawn in front of those below. Cards can be reordered by drag-and-drop or order arrows.
Move the Important Series to the Top
If multiple Lines overlap, move the series you want to highlight to the top of the list; the others remain behind.
7. Mixed Chart Type (Advanced)
In the standard Cartesian flow, combining different chart types with additional series is supported (e.g., Column with Line — "Combo Chart"). When adding a new series, choose the chart type separately in the Series Design step.
| Combination | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Column + Line | Monthly count (Column) + cumulative total (Line) |
| Bar + Spline | Shift production (Bar) + target trend (Spline) |
| Area + Line | Band range (Area) + average (Line) |
8. Confirmation
When you click the Next button at the top right, flow.hasAddedSeries = true is marked and you proceed to the 7. General Design screen.
