Answer options
A: Set the Show multiple elements as property to Aggregate Correct answer
B: Check Manual elements and add widget elements for the High and Critical incidents
C: Set the Show multiple elements as property to Separate
D: Apply an elements filter to return High and Critical incidents only
Correct Answer:
A. Set the Show multiple elements as property to Aggregate
Explanation

The 'Show multiple elements as' property on a Time Series widget controls how data for multiple selected breakdown elements is displayed. Setting this property to 'Aggregate' combines the scores for all selected elements (e.g., High and Critical priorities) into a single, cumulative trend line on the widget. This directly achieves the goal of showing a combined trend rather than separate ones.

Why Incorrect

B. Manual elements are used to pre-select specific breakdown elements to display on the widget, not to combine their trends into a single line.
C. Setting the property to 'Separate' is the default behavior that shows individual trends for each selected element, which is the opposite of the desired outcome.
D. An elements filter restricts which breakdown elements are available for selection in the widget, but it does not combine the trends of the selected elements.
