Add manual axis limits and static target/goal line on charts

Hi,

It would be extremely valuable to allow manual axis limits on charts (Y-axis and/or X-axis), instead of only dynamic scaling.

For example, if a company has a monthly revenue target of 100K, users should be able to:

  • Set a fixed Y-axis range (e.g., 0 → 200K),
  • Define visual milestones (e.g., 50K, 100K, 150K),
  • Add a target line representing the goal.

This becomes critical when comparing performance across periods or segments.

Today, charts automatically rescale based on the data. While convenient, this makes visual comparison unreliable.
For instance:

  • Year A: 20K per month
  • Year B: 400K per month

Both graphs appear visually similar because each uses dynamic scaling, which defeats the purpose of comparison.

Fixed scaling ensures that:

  • Year-over-year comparisons are meaningful
  • Multiple product lines or segments can be evaluated consistently
  • Performance gaps are immediately visible
  • Targets and progress are easier to communicate to stakeholders

Additionally, the ability to add a static target/goal line would significantly improve usability for sales and management dashboards. This is already a standard feature in many tools (e.g., Pipedrive and others for years).

In short, fixed axis controls + target lines would materially improve analytical accuracy and decision-making.

Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Hello, 

 

Thank you for your detailed suggestion and for clearly outlining the business value of fixed axis scaling and target lines in charts. We truly appreciate the time you took to explain the use cases and comparison scenarios.

At the moment, Creatio does not support manual axis limits (X or Y) or static target/goal lines in charts. Currently, chart scaling is dynamic and automatically adjusts based on the displayed data.

That said, we agree that fixed scaling and target indicators could significantly improve analytical consistency and cross-period comparisons. We have registered this request under problem ID PR-40522, and our R&D team will review it for consideration in a future product release.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback — it helps us continuously improve the product.

Oleksandra,

Great to hear it has received an official consideration. 

Thank you !

Damien
