    When you are creating a time series widget, consider the following points:

    • To show a filtered set of scores in a time series widget, apply a breakdown to the widget. Only the scores that match the specified element of the breakdown will appear.
    • To show aggregated scores, such as a seven-day average or a sum, apply a time series to the widget.
    • To show the scores of secondary indicators over the same time line, add widget indicators to an existing widget. For more information, see Add widget indicators.
    • When you are selecting a visualization for a time series, consider whether you want to emphasize the trend in the scores or specific changes in the scores. Also consider whether you want to show one indicator or compare several related indicators.
    • Rounded calculations based on averages may be off by a small amount due to rounding errors.
