Creating a gauge component

To create a gauge component:

1  Before creating a component, ensure that a dataset has been created by the System Designer or Administrator and published to you.
  
2   Create a new component which will open the Component Builder. 

3   Select a dataset which will form the source data the component is based on.

4   Select the component type. For all components the default is Chart so this step is essential to create an alternative component.

5   Select dataset columns for the component. For Gauge component only a single red measure column can be selected, additional measure columns will overwrite the previous selection.

6   Add filters to the component, to limit the range of data shown.

7   It is also possible to Define gauge display options.

8   Preview the Gauge background colour, if required. The results of this step will not be saved.

9   Resize a component to best display the information in a component.

10    Add drilldown components, if required.

11    Define a title for the Gauge component.

12    Save the Gauge component.

13    Publish and close the Gauge component to allow others to view and use the component you have just created.
