Goal: Configure your RoastLogger chart display to show roasting events in either a minimal dot format or detailed label format based on your preference.
Prerequisites: You must have access to RoastLogger and be logged into your account.
Overview
RoastLogger gives you control over how roasting events are displayed on your charts. Whether you prefer a clean, uncluttered view or want to see all the details at a glance, we've got you covered with two distinct display options.
The Two Display Options
Event Dots: Perfect for roasters who like a clean, minimal chart experience. Events appear as small dots that you can hover over to see details, time, and temperature. This keeps your chart uncluttered while still providing access to all your event information.

Event Labels: Ideal for roasters who want to see all event information displayed directly on the chart at all times. This view shows event names, times, temperatures, and even displays the DTR% (Development Time Ratio) right on your chart.
