Enhancements to Trace Formatting in Voltaiq V2

Watch this 3 minute video:

Key Changes and Features

1. Improved Grouping and Formatting Options:

   • Enhanced Group-By Functionality:

     • Users can group traces easily and apply consistent formatting to entire groups or individual traces within a group.
     • Navigate up and down the trace hierarchy to customize formatting as needed.

   • Streamlined Statistical Trace Management:

     • Turn statistical traces, like envelopes or calculated traces, on or off directly from the Formatting Tab without affecting group functionality.
     • This simplifies workflows for users who primarily rely on group-by functionalities and want to minimize distractions from unnecessary statistical traces.

2. Simplified User Interface for Trace Selection:

   • Redesigned trace selection panel with intuitive selectors to help you find and customize the trace you need—quickly and efficiently.
   • Reduced scrolling: all key trace options are now easily accessible within a single view.

3. Flexible Trace Formatting:

   • Apply formatting to individual traces or entire groups with precision:
     • Format statistical traces and their envelopes separately.
     • Highlight specific traces without impacting others in the group.
   • These updates give you greater control over how you present and analyze your data.

4. Dynamic Dropdown Options:

   • Depending on whether statistical traces are enabled, the dropdown menu adjusts to provide tailored options:
     • Turn envelopes on or off.
     • Show or hide individual traces.
     • Customize statistical traces independently from other group members.

How It Works

1. Accessing the Formatting Tab:

   • Navigate to the Formatting Tab within a chart.
   • Use the new intuitive selectors to choose a trace or group for formatting.

2. Managing Statistical Traces:

   • Turn statistical traces on or off without disrupting the group hierarchy.
   • Modify statistical traces and envelopes independently for enhanced control over your data visualization.

3. Applying Group-Wide Formatting:

   • Select a group and apply formatting to all traces within the group simultaneously.
   • Drill down to individual traces within the group to apply unique formatting if needed.

4. Customizing Individual Traces:

   • Highlight specific traces, format them differently, or call them out in your analysis without impacting the rest of the group.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Quickly manage trace formatting with fewer clicks and less time spent navigating the UI.
• Flexibility: Toggle statistical traces and envelopes as needed while maintaining granular control over individual trace formatting.
• Clarity: Create cleaner, more targeted visualizations by focusing only on the traces that matter most.

Additional Notes

• These updates are part of the December 3rd release and will be available in your workspace under the Formatting Tab for applicable charts.
