activity graph

What is the difference between the  the red and yellow lines on the activity graph?  The yellow shows steps.  What is the red?

[WendyB]

If you hover your mouse over them it will tell you.

Each tells me the steps I have taken. What does the different color mean?  

Yellow

Red

When you hover over them it says at the bottom the intensity levels- Green=Very; Yellow= Moderate and Red=Light.

Have a great day!

It should be possible to customize the time axis on the activity graph. The default hours chosen are useless to me and probably to most other users. The time axis could be adjusted to show 15 minute divisions, or half an hour at the most and then the graph would be useful. As it is now, most of the information I want is just about flat-lined because the time axis has such big divisions. I average 10,000 steps a day so a graph where most of my info is almost flat-lined because the time axis tries to contain too many hours is a poorely designed graph indeed. The information that won't fit in a four hours graph should be flatlined at the top, or even left out of the graph, rather than taking the most useful information and cramming it along the bottom because the hours axix has such big divisions. Get what I mean?

@CaptainRoy There are a couple of ways to see more detailed information. If you hover over any line, it will tell you what you did in a 15 minute period. Also, if you mouse over to the bottom of the graph on your dashboard and click on the "see more", the graph is broken down into 5 minute intervals.

Thank you for your quick reply. I knew that more detailed information is available by hovering on the graph line or near the bottom of tiles, and those are good features to be sure. However, although using those hovering features does get you the information you want, the fact remains that the purpose of a graph is to give a quick easy pictorial generalization at a glance in the form of lines or bars instead of a list of figures that have to be studied. All the rest of the graphs meet this criteria and are very good and convenient. However, my opinion is that the time scale used in the activity line graph entirely defeats the purpose of a graph, and the activity graph is useless as far as giving quick comparative information like all the other graphs succeed in doing.. The activity information might as well be put in a list of figures, because having to hover on the lines in the graph because the lines are so flat ( which in turn is because the time scale is too large) defeats the purpose of a graph- any graph.

I see what you're saying. You want to be able to "zoom in" on part of the graph. That make sense. I have sometimes wanted to do that myself. Try putting your suggestion in the Feature Requests forum: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Requests/idb-p/features Perhaps Fitbit will add it.
