Set Axis Max to Bechmark Value
L
Layla at ProcessDriven
Currently, X and Y Axis is automatically set to a min/max based on the data values -- even if you have a benchmark value far above the data values.
This prevents the full usefulness of benchmark values -- particularly for goal setting above the "normal" values -- because they don't actually let you see the distance to the goal.
See attached image that shows how this can be misleading.
Suggestion is to either
(1) allow us to override defaults and manually set Max value on each Axis or [ preferred option ]
or
(2) when a Benchmark is added, expand the axis so that it includes this value.
Note: This also applies to charts in Dashboard view.

Customise Chart Scale
Gavin Smith
Charts automatically scale to the highest bar. We have a target for a bonus scheme. The chart won't scale to this benchmark line. It just sits at the top of the chart. For example if the bonus target is £30,000 and the current earnigns are £5000. The chart scale stops at £6000, just above the £5000 earnings. The benchmark line sits at the £6000 also. This gives the false perception that it is almost achieved. Another example might be where we create 2 charts. We might want to compare their output, but they will potentially be at vastly different scales. For example one might show 100 units delivered, the other might show 10 000 sold. The two charts will visually show a bar right to the top. It is not instinctively clear that they are very different results.
