Data Discovery: Gauges Ribbon

Gauges Tab becomes active when KPIs are present in the query. Once enabled, users can turn on gauge visualizations - which are an alternate way to view KPIs.

Changes made in this tab influence the Gauge component only (in the current report only). See Gauge for a discussion of gauge types.

General Formatting

Layout

Selects the layout pattern for gauges.

Theme

Applies a predefined gauge theme to current report. Your system administrator may add additional themes, if necessary.

NOTE: Changing the Report Theme in the Report Tab overwrites the current Gauge Theme. Therefore, it is recommended to first set the Report Theme, and then (if desired) to change the Gauge Theme.

Shape

Swaps gauge shape between square and rectangle.

Font Size

Increases/decreases the font size of all gauge text in unison (except for the "major text" selected by the Values command).

Border Thickness

Makes all gauge border lines thicker/thinner, in unison.

Animate

Turns on gauge animation for first-time display. Implementation may vary depending on gauge design. Animation provides a more interactive user experience, but can also slow down query speed.

Background Color

Changes gauge background color.
