	A High-Low Open-Close Widget is a graphical chart that is typically used to illustrate the movement in an indicator over time, such as the price of a commodity or the number of incidents reported on a computer network. Each vertical line on the chart shows the full price range over one unit of time. By looking at a range of dates, one can see the range of prices on each date, as well as the trend of the daily ranges over time. The specific nature of the High-Low Open-Close Widget requires that the underlying Data Collection contains fields for the High, Low, Open, and Close values.

A High-Low Open-Close Widget is a graphical chart that is typically used to illustrate the movement in an indicator over time, such as the price of a commodity or the number of incidents reported on a computer network. Each vertical line on the chart shows the full price range over one unit of time. By looking at a range of dates, one can see the range of prices on each date, as well as the trend of the daily ranges over time. The specific nature of the High-Low Open-Close Widget requires that the underlying Data Collection contains fields for the High, Low, Open, and Close values.

== How To Create a High-Low Open-Close Widget ==
For instructions on creating a Widget, see the general instructions in [[appboard/2.4/builder/widgets#Adding_Widgets|Adding Widgets]]. The Hi-Lo Open-Close Widget type is located under the Charts category on the Widget selection screen.

== How To Configure a High-Low Open-Close Widget ==
Follow the instructions above to create the basic "Hi-Lo Open-Close Chart" Widget, and then perform the following steps to configure the Hi-Lo Open-Close Chart Widget:

=== Select a Data Collection ===
Select a '''Data Collection''' that contains the information you would like to use for this Widget.
* Click the "Data Collection" pulldown, then select from the list of available Data Collections.
* If you're using the sample CSV data, select "Sample.Data.ChartData3".
* If there are no Data Collections available in the pulldown, then click here for instructions on how to bring in some [[Sample_Chart_Data|Sample Chart Data]], or refer to [[appboard/2.4/builder/data_collections|Add/Edit/Remove a Data Collection]].

=== Configuring the X-Axis ===

Select the desired '''X-Field''' to use for the X-Axis of the Chart.
* The "rows" of this column of data will make up the X-Axis.
If you're using ''Sample.Data.ChartData3'', then select "Date" to be the X-Axis Field.

=== Type ===
Select an option for Type from the drop-down box. This will be used to determine how the data is translated by AppBoard into the labels that are shown along the x-axis:
* '''LinearAxis''': x-axis values are determined as a linear progression between the lowest and highest values.
* '''LogAxis''': x-axis values are determined as a logarithmic progression between the lowest and highest values. Labels on the logarithmic axis are even powers of 10.
* '''CategoryAxis''': This is the default. The "rows" observed in the selected column of data will make up the X-Axis.
* '''DateTimeAxis''': x-axis values are determined as time-based values such as hours, days, weeks, or years.
If you're using ''Sample.Data.ChartData3'', then select "DateTimeAxis" to be the Type.

=== Configuring a Series (Y-Axis) ===
* Click the "Add" button in the button toolbar of the Series DataGrid.
* Repeat to add additional series.
* Series may be removed with the "Remove" button next to the "Add" button.
* Series may be reordered in the Series DataGrid by clicking the upper-right corner of a row and dragging the Series up or down the grid.

If you're using ''Sample.Data.ChartData'', then select the following Y-fields:
* High
* Low
* Open
* Close

=== Chart Options ===
* Check or uncheck "Show Legend" as desired to include a legend of the line color for each Series (by Y-Field name).
* Enable the X-Axis title and enter value as desired.
* Enable the X-Axis labels and rotate them as desired.
* Enable the Y-Axis title and enter value as desired.
* Enable the Y-Axis labels and rotate them as desired.

=== Additional Configuration Steps ===
* Provide additional configuration, if needed, on the Options tab. For details on the available Options, see [[appboard/2.4/builder/widgets/options|Options]].

* Enter the following information on the Actions tab:
** Click Add Event Action to configure one or more [[appboard/2.4/builder/widgets/actions|Actions]] to be invoked when a user clicks on the Hi-Lo Open-Close Widget. The action will apply to the current data record being displayed.
