Gauge Item - Provide more binding parameters

This is very unfortunate. I do hope you would reconsider.

I'll add to this and say that the improved functionality would add considerable value to the product

I'll add to this too and general sql parameters should be included with the dashboard designer query view etc.

Bummer. This is really a minimum requirement to make a gauge a viable option on the dashboard. For instance - seeing how many calls at a call center successfully achieve a goal is great if the total is the total number of calls but the gauge does not say much when it is just a "result" out of a random (auto generated) range. I hope you bring the dashboard "up to speed" with your excellent individual controls. Please…

In my case, this funcionality is a costumer requirement that cant't be attended, invalidating the project.

I completely concur that adding this functionality would add value to the product

Wellcome to DevExpress! Great components, but poor products. I cannot understand!
This same kind of lacks are presente in XAF, mainly in the asp.net version.
Seems to lack whim or disregard for the customer, , because no matter how many customers ask for this feature, they will not implement. Forget it!!
A tired customer!!!

The "near future" is coming. Any estimate for implementing this basic feature?
BTW, I was deploying the dashboard suite for a client of mine. You know what he told me?
"This tool is very cool, but the gauges are awful". And I said? "I'll take this thanks to the staff of the DevExpress".
So here I am: Thanks DevExpress for embarrass me in front of my customer.

We, too are looking for this feature so eagerly.

Upper & Lower limits would also be very useful for my customers.

I realized this has been discussed for over 2 years. I think it is very important for gauges.Acho you should give priority to implementing this implementation.

+1 support for all comments above!
I strongly suggest you all guys to upvote this question, so it may gain weigth in their roadmap priorities.

Yes, this would also be a valuable enhancement for us as well. We have cases where the max value varies greatly and because the gauges all scale to the highest value this leads  to some gauges that are at 100% but are barely above 10 % of the gauge visually. It would be nice if each would scale individually to their max.

This seems like a pretty critical piece of functionality that is missing. I too am eagerly awaiting on update on this.

Yes i agree with all the users here, we would greatly benefit from such enhancements.

Dear DevExpress team, please provide the missing functionality. You have the world best web components, but your Dashboard components are with very limitted functionalities (I am afraid to say missing functionalities) for such simple tings as to provide a color to dashboard chart. Please implement that - can see that some similar requests are more than 2 years old

This is something I greatly need as well.

It seems (I believe so) it is not that difficult to implement this feature (please, let me know if I'm wrong):
- The DevExtreme suite already supports gauges with range coloring; So porting this feature to web shouldn't be a big issue:
http://js.devexpress.com/Demos/VizGallery/#chart/circulargaugesapiandbindingdatabindingforsubvalueindicators
- The color ranges settings could be reused from the choropleth map item; So one could define percentages threshold's and a coloring for each range:
https://documentation.devexpress.com/#DashboardWin/CustomDocument16608

The gauges are far behind compared to others. This would be very valuable to the dashboard.

For us this was the show stopper.
Every single KPI our company reports on has red/yellow/green thresholds defined, in fact I never came across a KPI without. SSAS and Excel have those three status-values/colors for KPIs built in.
Business laughed at us when we said we cannot implement the color ranges, we're now moving to Tableau…

I see Manfred. Although I cannot provide you with an estimate for the introduction of this functionality, I can say that we are keenly aware of just how needed it is.  In fact, once it is implemented, you will be automatically notified.

Hi Dev,
I greatly need this too. Gauge is a basic piece of any dashboard, but "automatically calculated ranges" is not useful…

Hello Adriano,
Thank you for your feedback.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could either describe in detail how you plan to use this feature in your real scenarios or reference one of the scenarios described above. It will be very helpful for us once we start working on this feature. While I cannot promise that we will cover all possible scenarios, knowledge of real use cases will allow us to better understand user requirements, and design a more powerful, flexible and universal feature for you.
P.S. I cannot at present give any time-frame for the completion of this project.

Hello Adriano,
Since I was the original poster for this ticket, I can provide at least once scenario that was in mind when I asked the question.
Regional Sales analysis.  For a given region I have a target sales amount for commission purposes. I also have a minimum threshold that is expected for the region. For the gauge, I want to show the minimum threshold of sales for the region, and the target commission threshold. Each region will have different minimums and commission targets that need to be compared to the actual sales.
Another scenario is where I have a budget, but also have a contractual maximum.  The gauge would be used to compare budget to actual spend, but would also show when I have exceeded a Maximum contractual amount.

James, thank you for your clarification. That is what I exactly requested from Adriano and our other users. Real scenarios can be different for different users and these details will be helpful for our developers once they start working on this feature.

+1 from me. Gauge is currently scaling automatically, it is not good in order to compare and contrast gauge with other gauges in the same box. Because you expect same scale to compare which is misleading sometimes. By setting the min and max values, we would be able to apply the same scale to all gauge items in the dashboard.

I want to use ranges in gauges like dxCircularGauge

[Posted by Carlos Manuel Santillán León 1 in Dashboard Gauges - introduce color ranges]
I have some compliance indicators (figure 1) where I have 3 values, the actual value, the alert and the limit. If you can see the picture 1 there are some circles and the color of the circle depends of the actual value.
I want to convert that circles into a gauge control (picture 2) but mantaining the functionality of the 2 ranges (alert and limit) like picture 3.

We are also interested in the ability to define a color Palette for Ranges. The same functionality that exists in the DevExtreme Javascript Gauge Widget:
https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/#demo/gauges-circular_gauge-palette_for_ranges

Thanks,
Joe

Hello Joe,
Would you please describe a required workflow in greater detail? Do you wish to calculate these ranges using predefined values in the same manner as color ranges in the Choropleth Map (refer to the Palette and Scale Settings  section of the Map Coloring topic) or you wish to bind them to data items in your data source?

Morning,
I would be using using predefined values, such as Hard Drive space used:
Over 90% = Red
80-90% = yellow
under 80% = green
I'm sure the ability to bind the ranges to data source would be useful, can't think of an scenario of hand.
Thanks,
Joe

I have users requesting the ability to define values for the range bar of gauges in dashboards.  Currently, this is not available in the gauge options.  Is there any chance this feature may be added in a future update?

Hi Jacob,

At present, we do not have any news regarding this functionality. I have passed your comment to our R&D team so that we can take it into account when discussing future plans.
