Let's say your data represents some duration. In this case, instead of showing simple numbers on the Y axis and in the balloons (also legend of line chart) you might want to have a formatted duration which would be easier to understand. For example, instead of "190 s" (190 seconds) you can have "03:10" or "03m 10s".
To enable this feature, you should simply specify the unit of your durations of your data. If your data represents seconds, the unit will be "ss", minutes - "mm", hours - "hh", days - "DD".
The unit of the duration is set a bit differently for the different charts.
Line & area:
<values> <y_left> <duration>ss</duration>
(you can use y_right instead of y_left, depends on the axis you use).
Column & Bar
<values> <value> <duration>ss</duration>
Scatter & Bubble axis can also be formatted as date, so first, you have to set the type of the axis (it can be both x and y):
<values> <y> <type>duration</type>
Then you should set the duration unit at:
<date_formats> <duration_input>ss</duration_input> </date_formats>
That might be enough if you are happy with the default formatting of the duration. If you want to change it, you should simply adjust values in the following settings:
<strings> <ss></ss> <mm></mm> <hh></hh> <DD></DD> </strings>
