Percent Bar widget

A Percent Bar widget displays progress as a percentage of a specified total value, helping you understand how much of a goal or target is achieved.

This widget includes Out of Value field, where you specify the total value, and a Target Value field, which displays a small vertical dashed line to indicate the target. You can change the percent bar track color by applying conditional formatting from an output field or by selecting a color from the IDS-approved color pallet.

You can specify this information in the Percent Bar Widget section on the Widget Builder screen:
