# Configure Trend Defaults

**Purpose:** Practice changing the default properties of a Trend display.

**Task:** In a Trend display, open the Properties window. On the Trend Config tab, modify property values to change the default behavior and appearance of the Trend.

**Steps:**

1. On the **Trend Config** tab, change the **Default Timespan** to determine the time span of the Trend when it is opened and whenever the “X” (current) button is pushed.

2. Change the **Normal Future %** to set the amount of space on the Trend reserved for “future” data as it comes in.

3. Text entered in the **Trend Name** field can replace the Description column header text. The corresponding property on the [Tag Info Grid Tab](/v1/docs/tag-info-grid-tab) must also be checked.
