Data Params - Gauges
This topic introduces the Data Params for Gauges.
Below is a list of Data Param attributes and functions:
Attribute | Function |
---|---|
Data Source | Select which data source should fetch the data. |
Data Table | Select which table or view in defined data source should fetch the data. |
Value Column | Select which column in the defined table/view should return values for the indicator. |
Scale and Decimals | Enter a scale factor that the data values should be multiplied by. If needed, set how many decimals the vale should return in the tool tip. |
Tag Column | Select which column in the defined table/view should return values as tag values. A tag column can be any additional column that you want to add to the dasharea dataset in order to use to return in tooltips, etc. For example, the x-column returns period values (201301), however, in the datapoint tooltip you also want to show the month in text. If you have a column in the defined table/view that returns the month values in text, then this column can be selected in the tag column field, and thereafter, #tag can be used in tooltips to return these additional values. |
Note: Test the area by selecting the Test icon. This checks that the data and SQL queries work as they should. You can use this feature to test entire dashboards or single dashareas. If the dasharea is dependent on a Selection Pane, you must first select the Selection Pane, and thereafter, you can perform your test.
