  4. In the Edit Component Data Binding dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select Gauge.
  5. Click Edit.
  6. In the Specify Gauge Settings dialog box, on the General tab, specify at least the Gauge Type.
  7. Specify the gauge settings on the General tab, as desired.

    See Specifying general settings for gauges.

    You must specify at least this information:

    • Gauge Type: Select the type of gauge you want to display.

      To preview the gauge types, see Gauge samples.

    • Gauge Data
      Note: In some earlier versions of Mongoose, the Gauge Data group is labeled as Chart Data.
      • To base the gauge display on data in an IDO collection, select the Collection option.
      • To base the gauge display on data from a Critical Number, select the Critical Number option.
  8. Optionally, use the other tabs on the Specify Gauge Settings dialog box to set up additional options for the gauge.
  9. To apply your changes and save the gauge, click OK.
