Animating & Real-time Data

Animate your time series data to visualize dynamic changes over time on the Visualization. This is useful for observing trends, movement, or live updates from real-time data sources.

Animation Types

There are two animation types, based on whether your data includes temporal (time-based) information:

1. Realtime

The Visualization will update using only the most recently fetched data.
Manual animation controls (Play, Pause, Loop) are disabled.
Realtime is automatically selected if no time column exists in your dataset.

2. Animation

Use this if your data includes temporal data (e.g., timestamps).
Allows playback of historical or simulated data changes over time.
You must define which fields are used for X and Y Axes:
- Go to: Settings > Dataset
- Set X Axis and Y Axis using column names from your dataset.

Animation Settings

Show Label
Displays the current time of the animation on the screens.
Force Label
Forces the label to appear even if labels are globally disabled for the layout.
Start / End Time
Define the time interval to animate. This must match the time range in your dataset.
