The dial target graphic features dual dials to offer a comprehensive view of performance at a glance. These dials can show two corresponding values or compare the actual value to the target value. Shown at either 180 or 290 degrees, this symbol enhances data visualization and allows quick comparisons.

The dial target graphic has customizable limit options so you can set low and high values to trigger a warning color and low and high values to trigger an alert color. The dotted line that represents the target value improves clarity and visual impact.

Examples

The following dial target graphic has its SelectAngle property set to 180 and has its Limits and its HiHiLimit properties enabled.

The following dial target graphic has its SelectAngle property set to 290 and has its Limits property disabled.

The following dial target graphic has its SelectAngle property set to 290 and has its Limits property enabled.

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.

    • Limits - Enables limits for the graphic.

      If enabled, the HiHiLimit, HiLimit, LoLimit, LoLoLimit, and TargetLimit properties are available.

    • HiHiLimit - Enables the high alert limit for the graphic.

      This is available when Limits is enabled.

      If enabled, the HiHiLimit property in the Graphic Properties section is available.

    • HiLimit - Enables the high warning limit for the graphic.

      This is available when Limits is enabled.

      If enabled, the HiLimit property in the Graphic Properties section is available.

    • LoLimit - Enables the low warning limit for the graphic.

      This is available when Limits is enabled. If enabled, the LoLimit property in the Graphic Properties section is available.

    • LoLoLimit - Enables the low alert limit for the graphic.

      This is available when Limits is enabled. If enabled, the LoLoLimit property in the Graphic Properties section is available.

    • Target - Enables the target value for the graphic.

      This is available when Limits is enabled.

      If enabled, the Target property in the Graphic Properties section is available.

    • ShowLegends - Enables legends for the data points.

      If enabled, set the Legend property for each data point.

    • ShowValues - Displays the values for the data points.

    • ShowUOM - Enables units of measure for the data points, if ShowValues is enabled.

      Set the UOM properties 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:

    • DataPoint1-2 - The data point or value for each dial on the graphic starting from the outer dial.

      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.

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

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

    • DataPointReference1-2 - The data point reference or value for each dial on the graphic, starting from the outer dial.

      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, asset stream reference, or asset metadata to display.

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

    • Legend1-2 - The legend text shown for each data point, up to 10 characters.

      This is available when ShowLegends is enabled.

    • Max - The highest value for the graphic.

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

    • Min - The lowest value for the graphic.

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

    • Target - The target value for the data points.

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

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

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

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

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

      This is available when Simulation is enabled.

    • 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.
