KPI Dial Widget (Themable)
Displays Key Performance Indicator (KPI) values using one of several layouts like a dial, a horizontal bar, or a vertical column. You can apply state formatting to highlight one or multiple KPI value targets.
 |
This widget is also available as a Web Component in the ThingWorx Web Component SDK library.

Widget Layouts
In addition to the Dial layout, you can configure the widget to show the KPI value using one of the following layouts:
Horizontal Bar
Vertical Column
Applying State Formatting
You can apply state formatting to the widget to show a target values arc. The arc is divided into segments, each representing a different state or range of the KPI values. You can apply state formatting rules to style the widget based on the current KPI value. To apply state formatting, perform the following steps:
1. In Composer, create a State Definition entity that applies style definitions based on a range of numeric values.
2. In Mashup Builder, select the widget, then open the Properties panel.
3. Configure the TargetFormat property by clicking State Formatting.
4. In the State Formatting dialog, select State-based Style Definitions.
5. Under Dependent Field, select Value.
6. Select the state definition that you created in Step 1, then click Done.
7. Save then view the mashup.
At runtime, the state formatting rules are applied to the widget based on the applied style definitions and the current value. The following example shows a dial with state formatting applied to the widget. The state formatting arc is split into three KPI value ranges.
Optionally, you can show a status icon for each state that is defined within the state definition. The icon is displayed to the right of the widget by default. You can use the IconPosition property set the icon position to the left. To set a maximum size for the icon, use the MaxIconSize property.
For more information about applying state formatting to widgets, see Applying State Formatting to Widgets.
Setting the Dial Start and End Angles
You can configure the start and end angle of the dial arc using the StartAngle and EndAngle properties. The StartAngle property specifies the starting point of the tracker arc. The two properties support a value between 0 and 360 degrees. The arc is calculated from the 6 o'clock position in a clockwise direction between 45 and 315 degrees by default. You can change the direction of the arc using the Direction property of the widget. The following example shows a dial tracker with the start angle set to 90 degrees and the end angle set to 270 degrees.
Formatting the KPI Value
Multiple configuration properties enable you to format the KPI value. You can specify the unit of measurement for the KPI value using the UnitOfMeasure configuration. This unit of measurement appears in the tooltip when a user hovers over the KPI value. When you set the ShowUOMLabel property to true, the widget displays the unit of measurement (UOM) next to the KPI value. The ValueFormat configuration allows you to set the decimal format for the KPI numeric value, using a 0.000 syntax.
