Indicator

Data Binding

The Data Binding tab allows you to connect data fields to the gauge chart and configure how values are displayed. It supports trellis layouts for displaying multiple indicators in a grid.

• Actual Value – Drag a numeric field here to define the main value displayed on the indicator.

  • Ellipsis menu:

    • Data Format – Opens the data format dialog to customize number formatting.

    • Display Unit – Choose how values are scaled: Auto (default), None, Thousands, Millions, Billions, or Trillions.

• Target Value – Drag a numeric field here to define the benchmark or target value for comparison against the actual value.

• Trellis Columns – Defines the number of indicators arranged horizontally.

• Trellis Rows – Defines the number of indicators arranged vertically.

Value Setting

Value Settings

• Actual Value Source – Dropdown:

  • From Query – Uses a field from the dataset.

  • Custom Input – Allows manual entry.

    • Value – Enter a numerical value.

• Target Value Source – Same options as Actual Value Source.

Chart Style

• Corner Radius – Defaults to 0.

  Enter a value for all four corners at once, or click the arrow to set each corner individually.

• Inner Radius – Enter a numeric value to define the size of the hollow center of the indicator dial. A smaller value makes the dial thicker, while a larger value creates a thinner dial ring.

• Dial Background Color – Sets the background color of the indicator dial.

• Interval Range Color – Toggle (Off by default).

  • When enabled, additional properties appear:

    • Value Type – Choose whether the range is displayed as a Percentage (default) or Constant (fixed number scale).

    • Range Colors (default thresholds):

      • High: 100–150%

      • Mid: 75–100%

      • Low: 0–75%

        (Threshold values can be edited to fit your data.)

• Start Angle – Slider, default 0. Sets the starting position of the indicator dial in degrees. For example, 0 degrees places the start at the rightmost point of the circle, while 90 degrees starts from the top.

• Sweep – Slider, default 360. Defines the total angular span of the indicator dial in degrees. A full circle uses 360°, while smaller values create a partial arc.

• Graph Opacity – Slider, default 100%. Controls the transparency of the dial and pointer elements. Lower values make the indicator more transparent, while 100% renders it fully opaque.
