The Barometer section reflects progress towards a targeted value over time. The behavior of the Barometer is configurable by template, dashboard or presentation admins.
To include a Barometer section in your solution:
- On a template tab, dashboard or presentation, from Design mode, click Add Section.
- Select the Category of the Barometer section (this is configurable but is typically: Visualizations).
- Click on the Barometer option to add it to the layout.
- Click on the settings gear in the top right corner of the section to open the Settings dialog.
- Modify the settings to define the behavior of the barometer:
- Title: A section title is optional. If there is no title, the barometer will fill the full section real estate. Toggle between a text value or an expression resulting in the title by clicking on the text/expression icon at the right of the field.
- Start Date: The start date against which the barometer tracks. This can be an expression or a hard-coded date. Hard-coded dates must be formatted with quotes and slashes ex. “01/01/2017”.
- End Date: The end date against which the barometer tracks. This can be an expression or a hard-coded date. Hard-coded dates must be formatted with quotes and slashes ex. “01/01/2017”.
- Actual Value: An expression representing the actual value that will be represented by the bar.
- Target Value: An expression representing the target value that the barometer will reach.
- Color: Select the color of the bar. Select to open the color selection panel, selecting the field at the bottom of the panel allows for a hex value or an expression to be entered.
- Currency: Choose from available currencies.
- Save the settings.
- The barometer displays a target value of $750.0M during configuration. It does not show the resolved expression value until run time (i.e., on an instance or on a dashboard/presentation that is not in edit mode). If the section is being configured on a template, publish and create an instance to view the customized barometer. If it’s being configured on a dashboard or presentation, click Stop Editing to view the rendered section.
- Note: There is no validation within the fields that accept expressions. If the expression is not entered correctly, the section will display an error on the instance, dashboard or presentation.
