Chart Titles

Chart title

If a Chart Title is not specified on the ‘Attributes’ screen, the name that you assigned to the chart when saving it will be shown on the dashboard. To enter a different title, click into the ‘Chart title’ field and enter the title you want to use, this title will replace the chart name on the dashboard but the name given to the chart when saving it will be the one displayed in the Chart Library, please refer to the section Saving a chart for further details. Adding a Chart Title is particularly useful for example when you’ve added filters to a chart – you can use this field to let users know that they’re not looking at all the available data.

Chart subtitle

A Chart subtitle works in the same way as the Chart title except that it displays beneath the title and, by default, in a smaller font. You can still enter a Chart subtitle even if you’ve not entered anything in the Chart title field and in these cases the Chart subtitle will be displayed beneath the default title (the name given to the chart when saving it). 

To enter a Chart subtitle, click into the Chart subtitle field and enter the text. You can also use object replacement in this field, please refer to Using Object Replacement in Chart titles for full details.

There is a maximum limit of 200 characters in the Chart title and subtitle fields. If you add a name that exceeds this limit, the name will be truncated which will allow the file to be downloaded successfully.
