**How to Modify Explicit Settings for Report Graphs**

|**By default, the Y axis of a graph will be graphed from max to min:**\\ \\ {{:ReportGraphExplicit_2.gif}}  |**Changing the settings will allow you to manually specify the max/min value:**\\ \\ {{:ReportGraphExplicit_5.gif}}  |

\\
\\


|**Consider a graph created with the settings on the right:**\\ Since the Y-Axis Scale is set to Global Min to Max, the graph that is created has the range of data for the y-axis determined by the maximum and minimum values of the signals graphed:\\ {{:ReportGraphExplicit_2.gif}}  |  {{:ReportGraphExplicit_1.png}}|

===== To change the range: =====

|**1.** In the Reports tab, select the graph using the Left Mouse Button\\ \\ \\ - Handles will appear indicating that the graph is active\\ \\ - If the handles don't appear, the graph is not selected!!\\ \\ **2.** Right click on the selected graph\\ **3.** Select Format Graph\\   |  {{:ReportGraphExplicit_3.gif}}\\ |

\\


|**4.** Set the y-axis range:\\ \\ \\ - Check Modify Y Axis Scale\\ \\ - Specify the Y Min/Y Max\\ \\ **5.** Click Apply\\   |  {{:ReportGraphExplicit_4.png}}\\ |

\\


|The graph has now been explicitly set to these properties:  |  {{:ReportGraphExplicit_5.gif}}\\ |

\\


|The Report Graph dialog will now reflect that the settings are explicit. If the graph template is saved, these explicit settings will be saved in the **Report Template**  |  {{:ReportGraphExplicit_6.png}}|
