Select one or more data fields in the data that BVD received through the data channel to display in your widget.

Single Data Field

Sparkline, line, and area charts as well as status image and text value widgets support only one data field.

For single data fields, BVD assumes that the data includes the data field value and uses the values received for value in the widget.

Default: value

Example Line Chart

The temperature data BVD is receiving from your New York City store already happens to include the value data field, so you do not need to select it. Otherwise select the data field with your temperature values.
