Delta

By default, a gauge shown the difference between an actual and a target. This difference is called delta:

In order to change delta settings you need to click the following icon:

A form with the following indicator parameters will appear:

Value type:

• Actual value – value of an actual measure;
• Absolute variation – difference between an actual and a target;
• Percentage variation – percent of difference between an actual and a target;
• Percentage of target – percent of an actual and a target;
• Target value – value of a target measure

Result indication:

• Greater is Good – The ‘good’ indication is displayed if the actual value exceeds the target value; if the target value exceeds the actual value, the ‘bad’ indication is displayed;
• Less is Good – The ‘bad’ indication is displayed if the actual value exceeds the target value; if the target value exceeds the actual value, the ‘good’ indication is displayed;
• Warning if Greater – A warning is displayed if the actual value exceeds the target value; otherwise, no indication is displayed;
• Warning if Less – A warning is displayed if the target value exceeds the actual value; otherwise, no indication is displayed;
• No Indication – Indication is not displayed.

For the delta, you can set the threshold value, which will indicate the excess of the actual above the target. The threshold type can be percent or absolute.

Let us display the percentage of difference between an actual and a target for our gauges. We are interested in those values for which the percentage of difference is greater than zero. For this, fill out the form as follows:

As a result, we will get gauges of the following view:
