The Advanced Chart Settings allows for the Metrics' charts to be customized. This includes the type of chart, trends, aggregation, axis group, and what is actually plotted in the chart. Click Chart Settings in the upper right corner of the page to access the options.
Basic Settings
Chart Types
Available on most/all metrics:
Stacked Column - Stacks segments making it easy to see each individual segment without overlap, and makes it easy to see how the total changes over time.
Stacked Column Percent - Normalized all data with the total as 100%.
Stacked Bar - Rows that expand off of the y-axis.
Grouped Column - Takes data from the related data point and compares it side by side, instead of being stacked.
Line - Curved lines connected the data points.
Area - Overlapping areas with with different shades to represent different series.
Stacked area - Additive area charts with curves.
Area Spline - Mechanically identical to stacked area.
Available on special metrics:
Sentiment - Exclusively used for the Team Sentiment metric. A line chart with a fixed y-axis range of 0 to 5.
Burndown - Used specifically on the burndown metric to accommodate the custom aggregation methods.
Forecast Trend - Used specifically on a subset of views within the burndown metric where it shows how the selected works’ forecasted end date has changed over time.
Heatmap - Used exclusively in metrics that show 3 dimensional data, such as number of actions taken within a specific window of time on a specific day.
Average
Choose whether to overlay a dotted line showing the average. In charts with subseries, the average is calculated across the subseries rather than from the total for each interval.

Aggregation
These options configure how data is combined when grouping by some parameter. For example, if you wish to see all commits by week, you can elect to see the count of all commits [Count] during that time or the total number of lines committed [Sum].
Average - The average of the summed values within a series
Count - The total number of instances within a series
Count Unique - The number of unique instances within a series
Min - The smallest individual value within a series
Max - The highest individual value within a series
Sum - The Total of the values within a series

X-axis and y-axis
Currently uneditable at this time.
What type of data is the metric displaying in the context of the current metric view:
For example, Code Addition Index would show time on the x-axis, and data on the y-axis.
Axis Grouping
Typically used in cases of time when you want to group by day, month, week, etc.
Second
Minute
Hour
Day
Week Day
Week
Month
Two Week
Quarter
Year
Decade
Weekend Holidays
Series
Choose what is actually plotted in the chart.
Time - Not typically used as a series. More often used as the x-axis.
Time Part - Not typically used as a series. More often used as the y-axis of a metric when the x-axis is already using time.
Service ID - The Allstacks-assigned Back-end ID for the connected service (I.e. an intelligible string of letters and numbers.) - Use service name or service description instead.
Service Name - This will be the specific individual name of the connected service. For example, if you have two Jira instances connected, you would see both of them.
Service Desc - Group of related services. If you have two Jira instances connected, you would see this as a single bucket called “Jira”.
User Name - This will typically group data by the user who took an action, such as the person who created a Jira issue, or made a comment on a pull request.
Series ID - Series ID or Sub Series ID will typically populate this field. For example, a pull request label.
Sub Series ID - Series ID or Sub Series ID will typically populate this field. Generally a smaller subset of the Series ID. In this example, an individual pull request’s name.
Project ID - This is the back-end identifier of the Allstacks team you are currently working within. Will be used in a future release where reporting across teams is available.
Project Name - This will group things by the name of the project you are currently on. Currently work is inherently filtered in the team context. This will be used in a future release where reporting across teams is available.
Work Bundle Name - This will group by bodies of work, i.e. Jira epics, or Bitbucket repos.
Bins - Not typically used in series. This is more commonly the x-axis for histogram metrics.
Data - Not typically used in series. It is more commonly the y-axis in 2D charts.
