To apply even time intervals to a time field on a table from the table context menu:

2. Group the table by a time field in the data. See Group and Ungroup Table Data.

3. Select next to the time field column heading to access the table context menu.

   

4. Select Include Blanks on the context menu. A check mark appears next to it.

   Even time intervals are applied for the time field.

5. Save the dashboard.

To apply even time intervals to a time field using the sidebar menus:
