2. Define a PQL statement set the label position, line thickness, line style, line color, opacity and if the value is shown on the label.
3. Add a new position line.

The dimension axis will define how the axis for your dimensions will be displayed:

1. Activate / deactivate the axis completely, set the line thickness, line style, color and opacity.
2. Activate / deactivate the axis title.
3. Hide and show the axis labels and configure their text format.
4. Hide and show gridlines on the dimensions axis.

The data series settings include all options on how the data returned from the engine will be interpreted:

1. Give the data series a title which will be shown in the table header and define the PQL statements.
2. KPIs only: You can activate shares in percentage. This will allow you to input a second PQL statement which is not split by the dimensions and the original KPI input will be divided by the result of the share in percentage statement. Therefore the share of a KPI in percentage will be the result.
3. Set the format options on the KPI or dimension.
4. Define the text color with a default color and an optional color mapping to set a color threshold.

The data series options for charts follow the settings for tables above with the following differences:

1. You can define on which axis the data series of a KPI is shown.
2. A color palette can be set, which colors the single data points with the palette's colors according to the dimension.
3. Data labels can be activated to be shown on top of the chart, where you can as well set the format, value and exact positioning.

The general options on the scatterplot are specific for the scatterplot component. All other advanced settings are shared with the other table and chart components.

5. You can group the data points by a dimension or KPI. This grouping will be shown in the legend and the data points will be colored by the groups.
   
   
6. In the advanced options you can choose to display the data labels, deactivate selections and deactivate that the component is filtered by selections.
