Showing/hiding and formatting the grid for chart axes

2. Open the Appearance > X/Y/Z Axis > Values property group in the Properties tab.
3. Select Show grid to show the grid.

The grid changes color accordingly.
Changing axis scales from linear to logarithmic
By default, Web Intelligence displays the Y-axis on charts as a linear scale. You can set the
axis to a logarithmic scale. Logarithmic scales allow you to examine values that span many
orders of magnitude without losing information on the smaller scales.
Linear scales
In a linear scale, the axis markers are evenly spaced. Linear scales are based on addition.
Consider, for example, the linear sequence:
Here, the chart has the
grid shown on the X-axis
and the Y-axis. The X-axis
grid has a custom color
applied. The Y-axis grid is
the default color black.
Here, the chart has no grid
shown.
