When you move the cursor over the Line, Column, Bar, Area, and Box Plot time series panels, you can see a crosshair line across the panel which displays the time-series data. If other time series panels are also configured with overlapping time range, then when you hover over one time panel, crosshair timestamp will be displayed on the other panels as well. A tooltip is used to display the time-series data along with the crosshair, which also displays information about the combination chart.

You can modify the time range in panel to zoom in for granular details, especially for charts with larger compliance periods. To do so, select and drag across date/time and click **Update dashboard time range** button to zoom in further.

When you change the default time range for the dashboard, the new time range will automatically be applied to all panels on the dashboard, unless you have set a new default time range default for one or more of the dashboard panels. In that case, you’ll be offered the option to **Override custom panel time ranges** with the dashboard default. If you don’t select that, the existing default time ranges for individual panels will be preserved.

When a default time range is set for a panel, the panel won’t inherit the dashboard’s time range setting. You can change the panel back to inheriting the dashboard's time range by selecting **Inherit dashboard's time range** for the panel, or using the **Override custom panel time ranges** option, which causes every dashboard panel to inherit the dashboard's time range selection.
