Y-Axis Settings for Charts

You now have more control over how Y-axes are displayed on indicator charts in IMS. This article covers two customization options available to Admins:

Zero-Based Y-Axis

You can choose to enable or disable a zero-based Y-axis on time series charts. When enabled, the Y-axis will always start at zero, which can help provide consistent visual context across charts. 

To enable or disable zero-based y-axes on charts:

1. Navigate to the Changes Over Time section on an indicator's page.
2. Click the hamburger icon in the top right corner of the chart .
3. Select Enable/Disable Zero based Y-Axis. 
   
4. If enabled, the graph will display zero on the y-axis

Fixed Y-Axis Range Control

Admins can now define a fixed Y-axis range for indicator charts. This setting is applied at the indicator level in IMS and ensures that the Y-axis remains consistent regardless of the data being displayed. This is especially useful for comparing charts over time or across locations.

To set a fixed Y-axis range:

1. Log into IMS.
2. Create a new indicator or edit an existing one.
3. In the indicator settings, locate the Fixed Range field.
4. Check the box to enable a fixed Y-axis range.
5. Save your changes.
6. Publish the indicator to apply the update to the chart on the front-end.
