Display Options & Patterns
Control how the CFD looks, customize individual bands, use advanced options, and learn to read common chart patterns.
Display Options
| Option | What It Does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Interval | Granularity: 1 day / 1 week / 2 weeks / 1 month | 1 day |
| Include Sub-Tasks | Include sub-tasks alongside parent issues | Off |
| Show as % of total | Display bands as percentage instead of counts | Off |
| Show Legend | Show/hide the band legend | On |
| Hide Weekends | Skip Saturday and Sunday on the X-axis | Off |
| Show Horizontal Gridlines | Add horizontal gridlines for reading values | Off |
| Y-Axis Starts at Zero | Force Y-axis to start at 0 - prevents misleading scale | On |
| Enable Scroll Zoom | Allow pinch/scroll zoom on the chart | Off |
Advanced Options
| Option | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Continue After End Date | Include issues that transitioned after the chart's end date |
| Show Entire Time Interval | Extend the X-axis to the full date range even if no data exists for some days |
Band Customization
After the chart loads, customize individual bands in the band list:
- Exclude a band - uncheck it to remove it from the chart and the count
- Reorder bands - drag bands to match your workflow order (bottom = first stage)
- Custom colors - click the color swatch next to a band name to change its color
Tip: Order bands so the earliest stage (e.g., "To Do") is at the bottom and the final stage (e.g., "Done") is at the top. This is the standard CFD convention - completion accumulates upward.
