When adding a Time Series Graph widget, include baseline data

Often we rely on dashboards to tell a story.  One of the popular dashboard widgets is the Time Series Graph, which allows us to observe how the value of a metric changes over time.  Sometimes it's hard to know if what we're seeing in the graph is 'normal'.  Luckily, we can overlay the baseline value on the plot, which allows us to easily compare current values to what AppDynamics expects.  Simply check the 'Include Baseline Data' box in the Advanced section when adding a metric to a Time Series Graph:

When your graph is displayed you'll notice a dashed line corresponding to the expected metric values for the time period:
