I am working with **Time Series Chart** And I want to customize the X and Y Axis text. Currently I have some default values on Axis that comes with the sample data. Also can we add a Name for each bar in **Time Series Chart**? For Y-Axis I need to show: The Values of a column that is not present in the series data. For X-Axis I need to show: "Brass Tags" And for each Bar I need to show: BT1, BT2 ... ![Sample Bar Chart](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/8/b8a0d215b994c3c1c1594ea6c71cec2ebf663988.png) ---

I don't think the Time Series chart has any notion of categories on the X-axis. You should probably be using the XY Chart. ---

Can you show us a mockup of what you want. A photo of a pencil sketch would probably do as long as it's clear to us what the x-axis categories are and whether they're all the same size and / or time-related. ---

Using an XY Chart, start with, `xAxes.0.render : category` ---
