Specifying the bucket count

The default number of histogram buckets is 10, but you can easily change this.

  1. On the right side of Dashboard Designer, click Settings in the VISUALmenu.
  2. In the Settings menu, click Basic.
  3. Under Basic, adjust the selector for the Bucket count option.

The following image contrasts the appearance of a histogram with 10 buckets and a histogram with 20 buckets. Notice that as the number of buckets doubles, the range of values covered by each bucket is reduced by half.
