   • Metric tooltip

     Hover your pointer over a specific metric to display a tooltip with additional information about the displayed values.

     

   • Time period selection

     Attention:

     These date range options apply only to DQ charts that track data over time. For more information, see topics Fill rate over time, Profiles with invalid data over time, and Uniqueness analysis over time.

     Specify the date range to view chart information for a specific period in one of the following ways:

     • Date picker: Select a date range from this drop-down at the top-right corner of the page:

       • Last 7 Days: Seven days before the current date. For example, if the current date is 25-Jul, then days from 19-25 Jul display.
       • Last month: One month before the current date. For example, if the current date is 25-Jul, then days from 25-Jun through 25-Jul display.
       • Last 6 months: Six months before the current date. For example, if the current month is July, then June, May, April, March, and Feb display.
       • Last year: One year before the current date.
       • Pick date: A custom date range you specify on the calendar. Select a time period up to the current date. If you select an end date before the current date, the Today line changes to show the date range.
     • Note:

       The date and timestamp attributes are formatted depending on your location. For more information, see topic Frequency analysis.

       
     • Time period

     • Mouse zoom: Hold down the left mouse button and swipe left or right across a portion of a chart to zoom into that time period.

     When you specify a time period, the chart details refresh to display details for the selected period. For example, if you switch the time period from Last 7 days to Last 6 months in the Date picker, the horizontal x-axis values change from days to months. If you select several days within an existing time period of Last month with your mouse, the horizontal x-axis values zooms into the selected days.

   • Today or date
     

     Today changes to reflect the last date selected, when it is not the current date.
