Perspective 8.1.20

Hi All-

What are the requirements to get the axis cursors to show in a Perspective XY Chart used to display a line graph of a single series?

I tried with the 'demo data/config' you get when you drop the xy chart component on a view, but nothing I did in the settings seemed to affect it -- even simplifying it down to a single series and single y-axis.

Any thoughts? Do cursors not work on line graphs?

Hello ShaneH,

To show the cursor on the Perspective X and Y chart you will want assign the cursor to a series. The cursor will be viewable once you open a perspective session or putting the designer into preview mode. I have attached a screenshot on where to find the series where you can place into the cursor property.
