Setting Up the Indicator Visualizer

The Indicator visualizer is used to visually display data using a marked scale.

Several scales can be set up to provide a more visual data display. A rotating arrow is used to indicate the current value on a scale. Data of each scale can be divided into sectors (ranges), and the user can determine various colors for each sector to indicate sector position on the scale. For example, the green sector describes the available parameter values.

NOTE. The Indicator visualizer is available only in the web application. If a dashboard containing this visualizer is created in the web application, the block containing the indicator and its settings will be empty if the dashboard is opened in the desktop application.

To insert the visualizer, select:

• The Indicator item in the drop-down menu of the Visualizers button on the Home ribbon tab.

• The Indicator button in the Visualizers group on the Insert ribbon tab.

• The Indicator item in the drop-down list of the New Block item of the dashboard's context menu.

Then set a data source for the indicator and set up dimensions.

NOTE. The Observation Objects dimensions are used as numeric values of indicator.

Example of the Indicator visualizer:

The indicator contains:

1. Timeline. It is used to show data changes in time. It can be disabled using the Speedometer side panel tab.

2. Indicator Area. It contains:

• Scales. It is used show indicator values in graphic and numeric view. The indicator contains three scales:

• Scale1. Color scale contains three sectors by default.

• Scale2. Additional color scale. By default it is a background for scale-indicator and it contains four sectors.

Sectors of the Scale2 scale

• Scale3. Scale-indicator. Be default it includes the display of dimension values as marked range and numeric values and the specification of the dimension current value using the arrow.

Elements of the Scale3 scale

• Indicator Center. It is used to display rotation center and indicator of current value.

2. Set up scales one after another:

• Scale1 and Scale2:

1. Set scale parameters using the Scale side panel tab.

2. Set parameters of scale sectors using the Sectors side panel tab.

NOTE. The number of sectors inside the scales can be modified using the Sectors side panel tab.

• Scale3:

1. Set scale parameters using the Scale side panel tab.

2. Set up dynamic highlight of indicators using the Dynamic Highlight side panel tab.

3. Determine indicator parameters using the Arrow side panel tab.

NOTE. It is not available to set up sectors for the Scale3 scale.

3. Determine settings of the rotation center and current value indicator using the Center side pnale tab.
