I’d like to set up my easy chart to automatically set the date range to show the last 24 hours as default. I don’t want to have to manually change it each time. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to do that? Thanks in advance. ---

The easy chart has a ‘Startup Range’ and ‘Startup Selection’ property in the ‘Historical Range’ category; you can set these to ‘24 hours’ or ‘1 day’ to set the chart to a particular range automatically when the window opens: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/b/badf9b08c1082ce7b342739f24c70d5a36592128.png) ---

Rally late here, but I believe OP was looking for the Realtime Range to see last 24 hours. you can find those properties a little lower in the property editor list. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/c/c89b1812b1fdcd4c345be823a7526b1031ee751b.png)
