A bullet graph graphic is a modified bar graph that shows progress toward a goal. It features:

  • A horizontal or vertical bar representing the actual value

  • A vertical line marking the target or goal

  • A shaded background indicating various performance ranges.

Use this to create a quick visual evaluation of how close the actual value is to the target. Bullet graph graphics are effective tools for monitoring performance metrics and KPIs in a concise and informative manner.

Examples

The following bullet graph graphic has its Orientation property set to Vertical and its Indicator property set to Ball.

This is the same graphic, but with its Indicator property set to Bar.

The following bullet graph graphic has its Orientation property set to Horizontal and the Indicator property set to Ball.

This is the same graphic, but with its Indicator property set to Bar.

Configure the graphic

Configure the following properties for this graphic:

  • Follow asset context - The asset context affects properties that are configured to display asset stream ref data and asset metadata. When this is enabled:

  • Follow time context - When this is enabled:

    • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's time context as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Create a new visualization.

    • If this content is in an experience, it uses the time selected in the time selector content item as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Add a time selector.

  • Time - If Follow time context is disabled, select the time range for the data displayed in the content item.

  • In the Options section:

    • Orientation - The orientation of the graphic.

    • Statistics - The retrieval mode for the graphic.

      If Current is selected, configure the DataPoint property for each data point.

      If another option is selected, configure the DataPointReference, StartTime, and DataPointDuration properties for each data point.

      See Understand retrieval mode for details.

    • LowQualityColor - The color that indicates poor quality.

    • MediumQualityColor - The color that indicates medium quality.

    • GoodQualityColor - The color that indicates good quality.

    • QualitativeIndicators - Indicates whether higher or lower values indicate good conditions.

    • Indicator - The style of indicator.

    • ShowTitleAs - Enables the Title property in the Graphic Properties section to set the graphic title and sets the font size.

      Title is a larger font. Subtitle is a smaller font.

    • ShowLegend - Enables the legend for the data points. If enabled, set the Legend property in the Graphic Properties section.

    • ShowLabels - Displays the numeric scale next to the bar.

    • ShowValues - Displays the value of the data point.

    • ShowUOM - Enables unit of measure for the data point, if ShowValues is enabled.

      Set the UOM for the data point in the Graphic Properties section.

    • ShowCard - Displays a colored background behind the chart.

    • Simulation - Allows simulation for values in the graphic.

      If this is enabled, then the Statistics and DataPoint properties are not available but the SimMax, SimMin and SimPeriod custom properties are available.

  • In the Graphic Properties section:

    • DataPoint - The data point or value for the graphic.

      This is available when Statistics is Current and Simulation is disabled.

      To select a data stream, select the field and then select the pencil icon. In the DataPoint window, select Streams. In the Search window, use the filters to find and then select the stream, the asset stream reference, or the asset metadata to display.

    • DataPointDuration - The period, in minutes, used when calculating statistics.

      This is available when Statistics is not Current and ShowTimeProperties is enabled. It can't be zero, but it can be negative when a StartTime is specified.

    • DataPointReference - The data point reference or value.

      This is available when Statistics is not Current and Simulation is disabled.

      To select a data stream, select the field and then select the pencil icon. In the DataPointReference window, select Streams. In the Search window, use the filters to find and then select the stream, the asset stream reference, or the asset metadata to display.

      Ensure the Data Binding Mode is Constant when configuring this in combination with Statistics.

    • BadMax - The maximum value of the bad range for the data point.

      This is available when QualitativeIndicators is HigherIsGood.

    • BadMin - The minimum value of the bad range for the data point.

      This is available when QualitativeIndicators is LowerIsGood.

    • Decimals - The number of decimals to display for values.

    • GoodMin - The minimum value of the good range for the data point.

      This is available when QualitativeIndicators is HigherIsGood.

    • GoodMax - The maximum value of the good range for the data point.

      This is available when QualitativeIndicators is LowerIsGood.

    • Legend - The legend text shown for the data point.

      This is available when ShowLegend is enabled.

    • Max - The maximum value for the graphic.

    • Min - The minimum value for the graphic.

    • StartTime - The start time for use with statistics.

      This is available when Statistics is not Current and ShowTimeProperties is enabled. If no value is specified, then auto refresh is applied. The start and end times of the summary period are determined based on current time.

    • SimMax - The highest simulated value for the graphic when Simulation is enabled.

      Default is 100. This value must be higher than the SimMin value.

    • SimMin - The lowest simulated value for the graphic when Simulation is enabled.

      Default is 0. This value must be lower than the SimMax value.

    • SimPeriod - The simulation refresh period, in seconds, from 1 to 60.

      This is available when Simulation is enabled.

    • Target - The target value for the data point.

    • Title - The secondary title to display for the graphic.

      This is not available if ShowTitleAs is set to Hide. Note that this is not related to the title entered in the Title field near the top of the Properties pane.

    • UOM - The unit of measure text used in legends.

      This is available when ShowValues and ShowUOM are enabled. Use up to five characters.

  • In the Advanced tab:

    • Title - The title displayed for this content item in the grid visualization.

      This is not available in a canvas visualization or experience. Set this value in the Title property in the Graphic Properties section.
