Raw Data Visualization Options

The Raw Data Visualization options include:

1. Asset: You can select an asset from your raw data.
2. Stream Types: You can select one or more stream types. All are selected by default, and you can remove stream types to apply a filter.
3. Raw Field: You can select one raw field to visualize over time.
   NOTE: You can later select a second field, but are limited to one in this window.
4. Date Range: You can click the date range selector, and then select the range that you want to display.
5. Show by: You can change the chart from time series to distribution (that is, how often the variable you selected occurs at certain values).
6. Update: Click this button to generate the chart.
   NOTE: If the results contain more than 10,000 records, the interface only displays the first 10,000.
