Configure chart widget indicators
You can add an indicator line to highlight a particular value on either the x- or y-axis. This can, for example, make it clear when values that are plotted on the chart exceed a certain threshold:

Click the Configuration tab.
On the left-hand side, click Indicators.
A list of one or more indicators is displayed. The first time that you configure the indicators, there is just one indicator in the list. However, it's not active until you configure it.
To add an indicator, click the plus icon
to the right of the last series in the list.To delete an indicator, click the rubbish bin icon

Description
Choose Axis
The axis for which you want to indicate one of the values.
Indicator Value
The value on your chosen axis at which the indicator should be displayed.
