Using an Embedded Trend

This article applies to version 4.10.2 and later of P2 Explorer. For more, see Release History.

The Embedded Trend component includes most of the functionality of the Explorer Trend. It is used when a trend is needed on an Explorer page, and can be opened as a full page trend when access to all of the trend features is required.

With embedded trends, traces can be added to the trend in the page configuration or after a page is loaded by:

  • Dragging and dropping time series data labels from a page onto the embedded trend
  • Dragging and dropping tags and attributes from a Navigator onto the embedded trend
