Data Range & Format

Data Range & Format is where you define the display format and the value range used by the gauge.

Range Limits​

Gauge example showing min and max values

In the Range Limits section you set the minimum and maximum values displayed on the gauge. There are two types of range limits:

  • Fixed: The minimum and maximum values of the gauge are static and never change.
  • From Metadata: The minimum and maximum values of the gauge can change based on a metadata property in a variable.

Fixed​

If you want to set a static range on your gauge, choose the Fixed type. Simply specify the minimum and maximum values to define the range shown in the widget.

From Metadata​

If you want to set a dynamic range on your gauge, this is the desired type. This type defines the range based on a metadata property of a variable.

The variable that contains the metadata can be selected in the Get metadata from field. The variable that you choose in this field must contain a metadata field with the following schema:

{
  "variable": "range",
  "value": "50",
  "metadata": {
    "limit_inferior": 0,
    "limit_superior": 100
  }
}

You can choose one of 3 options in the Get metadata from field:

  1. From original variable: The metadata property will be acquired from the variable that contains the gauge's value.
  2. From variable used in formula: The metadata property will be acquired from the variable that is being used in the formula. This option will only be enabled if your gauge is using Formula, and the Formula is being used with a variable.
  3. From another variable: The metadata will be acquired from a variable of your choice. If you select this option, a variable selector will appear.
