    Configure settings

    Overview

    Quiver has a range of settings to configure the display and format in your analysis. These apply to the current analysis, but not to other analyses that you create.

    To open the settings panel, click the cog icon in the side panels bar.

    Global settings

    • Allow settings to be controlled: When enabled, it is possible to toggle global settings on and off using a Boolean parameter configured in the analysis.
    • Enable apply button: Enable an apply button that will globally track updates to cards in your analysis, and stop them from propagating to the rest of the analysis until the button is clicked. This can significantly improve performance for analyses/dashboards where many updates are expected before recomputing results (when changing multiple parameters, for example).
    • Wait for first apply: If using the apply button, setting this option will prevent the analysis from initially loading until the apply button is clicked. This can help with performance when the default state of an analysis/dashboard operates on too large of a data scale, and users are expected to apply filters before viewing the analysis.
    • Display mode: Control whether canvases are displayed in Light mode or Dark mode. The selected mode will apply to all canvases, dashboards, and templates in your analysis. Note that when a dashboard or template is embedded in an application outside of Quiver (e.g. Workshop or Object View), the display mode will be inherited from the parent application.
    • Load settings: Controls how cards in your canvas are loaded upon opening. Choosing the Visible setting can improve loading performance for large analyses.
      • All: All items in the canvas will be loaded.
      • Visible: Only the visible items in the canvas will be loaded. Remaining items will be loaded as they become visible (e.g. when scrolling down).
      • Default: The current default setting is All.

    Categorical charts overrides

    • Override default plot colors/labels: These settings allow you to override colors and display names of segments and labels on object charts in your analysis. If changed, local chart display settings take priority over global settings.

      By default, data from different object sets on the same chart will be in different colors; similarly, different segments in a segmented chart will also be colored differently. Without intervention, these colors will be assigned to ensure maximum contrast between categories. You can set global color overrides if desired, whether because of color preferences or because you would like certain segments to be colored the same on all charts throughout the analysis.

      Note that to assign a specific color to each bar in a bar chart, you first need to segment your series by the same property that you grouped by.

    Time series tooltips settings

    • Show plot tooltips: When this is disabled, you will no longer get a tooltip showing time series name, timestamp, and value when you hover over a time series.
    • Show tooltip values as Range/Min/Max/Average: By default, Quiver renders 1,000 buckets on each time series chart. This setting is used for high frequency cases where multiple underlying time series points are in a single bucket.
    • Show time in tooltips: When this is disabled, you will not see the timestamp value when you hover over a time series.
    • Show series titles in tooltips: When this is disabled, you will not see the time series name when you hover over a time series.
    • Wrap long text in tooltips: When this is enabled, long text in tooltips will be broken across lines.
    • Show time series hover markers: When this is enabled, the cursor's hovering crosshairs will also be shown on other charts. This is useful for tracking cursor position across multiple charts.

    Time series axes and legends

    • Show interpolation line: When this is enabled, Quiver will display a dotted line (marking before and after) when external interpolation is set to anything other than NONE.
    • Show values in legend: When this is enabled, the last point of the time series will be displayed under its name in the chart legend.
    • Show time axis scrubber: When this is enabled, a "scrubber" is displayed on each chart's x-axis. A scrubber is used to independently control the start and end display of charts.
    • Abbreviated numbers in axes: Controls whether numbers are abbreviated with letters or displayed in full (for example, 120.0k is an abbreviation of 120,000).
    • Default y-axis position: Controls whether the y-axis is displayed on the left or right side of the chart.
    • Default legend position: Controls whether the legend is displayed on the left or right side of the chart.

    Time series date/number formatting

    • Enable UTC time format: By default, Quiver displays timestamps using the timezone you're currently in (according to your browser). When this switch is toggled, timestamps will instead be displayed in UTC.
    • Enable 24-hour format: By default, Quiver displays the time using AM/PM specifications. When this switch is toggled, time will be displayed in 24-hour format. Note that this only affects the time display on a chart’s x-axis, and not on the plot tooltip.
    • Significant figures shown (1-15): Controls how many significant figures are shown in the plot hover tooltip (default of 6).
