Showing Results in Gauge Views
Gauge views are useful for showing performance against goals. The following table shows the gauges available from the Gauge drop-down list and describes their uses. The default gauge is a dial gauge.
Gauge Type
|
Description
|
Dial
|
A dial gauge shows data using a dial with one or more indicator needles that change position to indicate where the data falls within predefined limits.
|
Horizontal Bar
Vertical Bar
|
A bar gauge shows data using a single bar that changes color to indicate whether the data is within predefined limits.
|
Bulb
|
A bulb gauge shows data using a circle that changes color to indicate whether the data is within predefined limits. An array of bulb gauges is particularly useful for scorecard-type output.

Gauge Subtypes
Your selection for the gauge type determines which gauge subtypes are available. The dial gauge has no subtype. Gauge subtypes include the following:
- Bar gauges: Filled and LED-style. The default subtype is filled.
- Bulb gauges: 3-dimensional (3D) and 2-dimensional (2D). The default subtype is 3D.
Gauge Sizes
Gauge sizes include small, medium, large, and custom. The default size is medium.
The following procedure describes how to edit a Gauge view.
NOTE: If you select a gauge type that is incompatible with the results, no results are shown.
To edit a Gauge view
- If the view is not already in the compound layout, then add the view.
For instructions on adding views, see Adding and Editing Views.
- In the Results tab of the analysis editor, click the Edit View icon for the Gauge view.
The Gauge view editor opens.
- In the Layout pane, drag fields and drop them into the drop targets as necessary.
- In the Settings pane, set the thresholds.
- Click the Edit gauge properties icon in the toolbar.
- In the Gauge Properties dialog box, make your selections.
You can specify the following:
- Properties related to the gauge canvas, such as legend location
- Properties that control the appearance of the gauge, such as the width and height of the gauge
- Properties for gauge limits and tick marks
- Properties that control the display of titles, footers, and labels for the gauge or gauges in the gauge set
- When you finish making changes, click OK to close the Gauge Properties dialog box.
- Click Done to close the Gauge view editor.
- Save the analysis.
