Adding goal lines to reports in Ashby is currently supported for count over time and segmentation report types. To add a line, simply click "Add Line" in the View Options section of the report configuration. Once a line is added you will have a new set of line options depending on your report configuration. The two types of lines, reference lines and goal lines, and an optional forecast summary are described below.

Reference Lines

A reference line is a straight-line threshold to be rendered on any report. The reference line has three possible value choices:

• Custom: a line is rendered at the numeric value specified by the user input
• Average: a line is rendered at the average value of the reported data
• Median: a line is rendered at the median value of the reported data

Add a reference line with a custom value

1. Select "+ Add Line" in the View Options section
2. Enter an optional label for your line
3. Select Reference Line as the line type
4. Select Custom for the value and enter the target value
