The dial range graphic displays a single data point with a customizable dial. It helps you understand the current data within a set range of values. It provides a clear, intuitive visualization of performance metrics. You can set limits for the ranges, which adjusts both the text and the dial color and enhances clarity to improve your monitoring capabilities.

Examples

The following dial range graphic has its Angle property set to 290.

The following dial range graphic has its Angle property set to 180.

The following dial range graphic has its Angle property set to 180 and has different Color1, Color2, and Color3 values than the previous images.

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:

    • SelectAngle - The angle of the arc in the graphic.

      Set this to either 290° or 180°.

    • 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.

    • Color1 - The color for the low range from the Min value to the MaxLimitColor1 value.

    • Color2 - The color for the middle range from the MaxLimitColor1 value to the MaxLimitColor2 value.

    • Color3 - The color of the high range from the MaxLimitColor2 value to the Max value.

    • 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.

    • ShowTimeProperties - Enables the DataPointDuration property.

      This option is not available when Statistics is Current or Simulation is enabled.

    • ShowValue - 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 graphic.

    • Simulation - Displays test data for the graphic.

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

  • In the Graphic Properties section:

    • DataPoint - The data point or value for 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, asset stream reference, or asset metadata to display.

    • DataPointReference - The data point or value for each bar on the chart, starting from the center.

      This is available when Statistics is not Current and Simulation is disabled. The number of properties available is based on the NumberOfItems selected.

      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, asset stream reference, or asset metadata to display.

      Ensure that the Data Binding Mode is Constant when configuring DataPointReference1-5 in combination with Statistics.

    • 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.

    • Decimals - The number of decimal places for the data point value.

      Enter up to 2. Invalid values are discarded.

    • HiHiLimit - The value above which a high alert color appears on the graphic.

      This is available when HiHiLimit is enabled.

    • HiLimit - The value above which a high warning color appears on the graphic.

      This is available when HiLimit is enabled.

    • LoLimit - The value below which the low warning color appears on the graphic.

      This is available when LoLimit is enabled.

    • LoLoLimit - The value below which a low alert color appears on the graphic.

      This is available when LoLoLimit is enabled.

    • Max - The highest value for the graphic.

      Default is 100. This value must be greater than the Min value.

    • MaxLimitColor1 - The highest value for the low range on the graphic.

    • MaxLimitColor2 - The highest value for the middle range on the graphic.

    • Min - The lowest value for the graphic.

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

    • Target - The target value for the data point.

    • 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, auto refresh is applied. The start and end times of the summary period are determined based on current time.

    • Title - The title text for the graphic.

      This is only available when ShowTitleAs is Title or Subtitle.

    • UOM - The unit of measure text, up to five characters.

      This is available when ShowValues and ShowUOM are enabled.
