Specify Gauge Settings
Use this form to specify settings for a Gauge component. Not all settings are required. If you do not specify a value for an optional setting, a default value is used.
Gauges are single or multiple value indicators that are used in dashboards, real-time monitors, and reports. They are used to display Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), progress indicators, and quantity indicators.
Only users who have the appropriate licenses can bind a gauge to a critical number, or view a result in a critical number gauge.
This form is used only with Gauge components.
As used in this and related topics:
- The canvas is the area where the gauge is displayed.
- The legend is an area outside the gauge (but within the area of the component) that describes the gauge.
- Alpha is a transparency setting from 0-100. 100 means no transparency, that is, solid color. 0 means invisible. Numbers from 1 to 99 are levels of transparency, with the lower numbers being more transparent and higher numbers less transparent/more solid.
- Color values are stored in standard hexadecimal RRGGBB (Red/Green/Blue) format.
- Critical numbers are based on a stored procedure calculation or on an IDO calculation. You can create new critical numbers. Your application might also include some basic preconfigured critical numbers that you can copy and modify.
The Gauge XML page of this form displays the XML that is used to generate the gauge in the form. The XML is read-only.
