Gauges are a form of charts that can be used to in the web solution.
When used in relation to a contextbox with a checklist they aggregate based upon the checked selection.
Business Gauges can be used in the center top content of the HTMLTemplateDefinition.
Concerns: Here you link to an object of the type which data you would like to display (in the example above an InformationSystem)
Value:
For the gauge chart to display anything, it needs some values. Values are provided by either using URL parameters or by setting up a checklist in a HTMLContentBox left or right panel. When using a checklist, the attributes, defined in Value, will be taken from the selected objects and used in the gauge chart.
- Prompt: The prompt that explains to the user, what this value means.
- Attribute: The attribute to take a value from.
- Color: The color of the value. It will be used in the legend next to the prompt, and also in the chart. Colors should be defined in hexadecimal.
- Shape: The shape of how the value is shown in the chart. Shape does not have any meaning for a radial gauge chart as all values will be shown as arrows.
For horizontal and vertical gauge charts, the following options apply:- bar – shows the value as a bar in the chart.
- arrow – shows the value as a small arrow along the axis in the chart.
- Margin: Margin does not have any meaning for a radial gauge chart and for arrow shapes in horizontal and vertical gauge charts.
For bar shapes in horizontal and vertical gauge charts, margins can be used to place the bars next to each other.
If no margin is used, then the bars will be placed on top of each other which will make it difficult for users to easily read the values.
Tip: Use a margin divisible by 7 to space the bars evenly.
