Using the Banding and the Min/Max options

You can use the Banding option to analyze a series. When you use banding on a series, the upper and lower statistical boundaries for a given metric and object are displayed in the chart. The width of the band is defined by the standard deviation and median calculated for a given object/metric taking into account its weekly shift activity.
