Performing Actions to Plot Fields
This section describes how to perform various Actions, which are displayed in the Fields dialog.
- Add field as new chart—Enabled when you select a field. This action plots the corresponding measurement / property data. For more information on various charts can be plotted using this action, see Plotting Data as Charts.
- Split charts by field—Enabled only after one or more charts are plotted. This action splits one or more charts using values from the same or another field. For more information on splitting charts using this action, see Splitting Charts.
- Create filter using field—Enabled only after one or more charts are plotted. This action filters one or more charts using values from the same or another field. For more information on filtering charts using this action, see Filtering Plotted Data.
- Add field as X axis for selected chart—Enabled only when you select a specific chart and select any field other than the one, whose chart you have selected. This action plots the values of the selected field (in the Fields dialog) on the X-axis of the chart and shows its impact on the values of the original chart. For more information on the effects of adding field as X axis, see Adding and Removing X-Axis for a Chart.
- Split values by field within selected chart—Enabled only for Box and Whisker, Scatter, and Summary Line charts. This action functions in a similar manner as the Split charts by field action, except that it applies color using splits within the Scatter and Summary Line charts. In case of Box and Whisker, chart color is not applied while the split is performed within the chart. For more information on splitting charts within selected chart, see Applying Split Within Selected Chart.
