Chart periods: 7 days, month, 3 months, year and all

The short answer

Start with the problem period, then check the adjacent larger scale to avoid mistaking a local jump for a long-term trend.

A worked example

Worked example: a seven-day chart shows a noticeable jump, so a user checks the wider context. They switch to a month, open the original date in the calendar and notice that the measurement was taken at a different time. They do not move the point to another day or treat chart scale as an explanation. For a consultation, they select dates according to the question rather than the smoothest-looking line. The yearly view helps locate episodes while keeping visual impressions separate from actual entries.

What to do

01
Open 7 days to check recent entries.
02
Go to month or 3 months for trend.
03
Use year to find larger periods.
04
Open specific dates via a calendar for context.

Common mistakes

Compare the slope of graphs with different scales visually.
Ignore the number of points.
Consider the line a forecast of the future.

Scale changes the view, not the source data

A short range is useful for checking recent input, while a longer one helps navigate periods. Whenever switching, first check the date boundaries and available entries: sparse records do not become daily observations on a wider chart. Comparisons need comparable conditions and an understanding of gaps. A chart does not prove a cause or predict a medical outcome. If a point raises a question, return to its date and context. Statistics and PDF periods are selected in their own interfaces; check report settings separately instead of assuming that the selected chart scale carries over automatically.
