# Analog Trend

An Analog Trend shows value changes for one or more assets over a specific period.

## When should this display be used?

The "Analog Trend" display should be used when you want to track the history of one or more values over a certain period—e.g., the temperature history in a room, or the number of people in a room.

## What is the difference from the "Two Analog Trends" widget?

In the "Analog Trend" widget, the individual trends are displayed overlaid.

In the "Two Analog Trends" widget, the individual trends are displayed one below the other.

1. Make sure you are in the "Dashboard" menu.
2. Click on "Add widget".
3. Click on "Analog Trend".
4. Select the primary asset. The name of this asset will appear in the title bar of the widget.
5. Select the asset for which you want to create the analog trend.
6. Select the attribute for which you want to create an analog trend.
7. Choose whether the current value or the aggregated value should be displayed.
8. Optional: Repeat the last steps to create an analog trend for another asset. Both trends will then be overlaid in this widget.
9. Optional: Choose how much space your new widget should occupy on the dashboard. By default, each widget takes up 1 column.
10. Click on "Add widget".

### Set scale

Repeatedly click on **Set scale \[E]** to choose whether a day, a week, or a month should be displayed.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/platform/live-cockpit/widgets/predefined-widgets/analog-trend.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
