When defining series using the series configuration object, set the argumentField property to the corresponding field from the data source for each series individually. If the field that supplies arguments for data points is called in a similar way for several series, there is no need to set the field name for each series individually. Instead, set the field name for the argumentField property of the commonSeriesSettings configuration object at once.

Color is used to distinguish one chart series from another. However, there can be cases when it is more appropriate to display all chart series in one color. In this case, set the color property of the commonSeriesSettings configuration object. If required, you can override this property's common value in individual series objects.

By default, if a data source has data points with a null argument or value, a chart may draw series with unnecessary gaps between points. To prevent this behavior from occurring, set the ignoreEmptyPoints option to true.

Each series point can be accompanied by a text label that represents data related to the point. These are called series point labels. Use the label object's properties to set label options for all chart series at once.

Specify the label object's properties within the commonSeriesSettings configuration object to set label options for all chart series at once.

If you have several series of a single type, you can set label options to the values specific to this series type using the corresponding object (area, line, etc.) within the commonSeriesSettings configuration object. The values that are set within series-type-specific configuration objects override the corresponding common values.

If you need to set a label option for an individual series, use the label object within the series object of the series array. The values that are set individually override the corresponding common values.

When there are several series in a chart and series with a large number of points, the point labels may overlap each other and make a chart difficult to read. In this instance, it is better to display the point labels depending on their quantity. To specify the maximum amount of the labels to be displayed, set the required number to the maxLabelCount field. If the number of the points on a series exceeded the number assigned to the maxLabelCount field, the point labels for this series will not be displayed.

When setting a common data source via the dataSource property, you can pass information about a point. For this purpose, add a separate field to the data source in addition to the argument and value fields. To set the specified data to the point instance, set the series' tagField property to the name of the field with the information. In this instance, when clicking a point in the chart, you can access the data associated with this point using the point's instance.

When defining series using the series configuration object, set the tagField property to the corresponding field from the data source for each series individually. If the field that supplies data about points is called similarly in several series, there is no need to set its name for each series individually. Instead, set it for the tagField property of the commonSeriesSettings configuration object.

You can also associate data with a series instance. To learn how to do this, refer to the description of the tag property of the series configuration object.

When defining series using the series configuration object, set the valueField property for each series individually to the corresponding field from the data source. In case you use series templates, specify the valueField property of the commonSeriesSettings configuration object.

When this option is set to false for a series, the series appears invisible. If you require all the series to appear so, assign the same value to the visible option within the commonSeriesSettings configuration object.

In addition, you can show/hide series at runtime by using the show() or hide() method of a particular series respectively.
