Gauge
💡 A gauge chart measures progress, in the form of a needle, toward a goal. It displays the delta as an arrow with appropriate coloring.
Creating the component
Click on the Gauge icon to add a gauge indicator to the dashboard and drag and drop the fields you want to view.
The configuration of the component is done in the following order :
Fields of data items
The addition of fields to be visualized is done by drag and drop in the following 3 main areas:
Actual
Target
Series
Actual
Values of the data to analyze.
Actual Sales Analysis
Target
Target goal, to be compared with analyzed values.
Comparison of actual sales with a forecasted target
Series
Breakdown axis of the analyzed data, a gauge is created per data item in the series.
Breakdown of analysis by commercial
Multiple data items
Multiple series
Adding series increases the granularity of the information, and therefore the number of gauges displayed in the component. It is possible to drill down to aggregate the series according to the first one in the list box. The detail of the information of a gauge is then displayed by clicking on it.
Selection of 2 series: "Commercial" and "Store Country". The drill down is not activated by default. There are then as many gauges as there are combinations of Commercial-Store Country for the sales analysis
Activating the drill down
The data of the first series, "Commercial", are now displayed by default.
Clicking on a gauge activates a filter based on the value of the first series. One then has access to the data of the next argument displayed according to this filter. Here, having clicked on the "Australia" gauge, it displays the details of the sales analysis for Australian cities.
Multiple actual and target values
Adding actual and target value fields to a set of gauges creates a new set of gauges. These sets are layered within the same dashboard component. Switching between the gauges in each actual and target value group is done by clicking on the stacked fields icon.
💡 If no series is filled in, this displays multiple gauges on the same component, one per actual/target value pair.
Specific settings per value
You can configure the display of each set of gauges in the chart by clicking on this icon. The gauge options window is composed of two tabs
Common
This part allows you to set the display of the delta color on the gauge.
Scale options
Minimum value: Minimum value of the gauge measurement.
Maximum value: Maximum value of the gauge measurement.
Delta options
Value type: Allows you to specify the calcul method for the actual "value" to be displayed.
Actual value: value of the "actual" data field.
Result indication: Allows you to specify the color code used for the gauge deltas.
Greater is good: The delta is displayed in green if the actual value is greater than the target value. If the target value is higher than the actual value, the delta is displayed in red.
It is possible to specify a tolerance threshold with respect to the target. Actual values within this threshold, below or above the target, will not be colored according to the result indication and will be displayed in gray.
Threshold type: Definition of the tolerance threshold as a percentage of the target or as an absolute value.
Threshold value: Specification of the tolerance threshold value, depending on the type chosen.
Format
This part allows to define the format of the data used to create and present the gauges.
Scale label: values displayed on the gauge scales.
Actual value: "actual" data field.
Target value: "target" data field.
Absolute variation: difference between "real" and "target" values.
Percent of target: "actual" / "target.
Percent variation: ("actual" - "target")/"target".
Format type: Unit format to be displayed.
Unit: Unit scale.
Precision: Number of digits after the decimal point.
Currency: Currency to display in case of a monetary unit.
Culture: Country of the currency if selected.
