The power user can set the following preferences for the
Metrics Bar component.
- Update data source:
Select from the available data sources in the drop-down list, and then click
Update data source to bind your selection to the
component.
- Analytics Statement:
Enter an Analytics statement (or multiple statements) to return metric values.
- Respect data source query
state: When this box is checked, the
Metrics Bar component is dependent on its data
source query state, which means the metric values should update when the data
source query state changes. When the box is unchecked, it is independent of the
data source query state, so the metric values should remain constant regardless
of the data source query state.
- Test analytics query:
Validate the Analytics statements before loading the metrics into the
component. The power user is required to test the Analytics statements before
loading the statements into the component.
- Load Metrics: Save
the Analytics statements and display the metric values.

Metrics Bar component supports decimal,
currency, string, and integer formats.
- Formatter Options:
Customize the metric's format.
Note: The options displayed change depending on the selected
format.
- Stoplighting:
Configure threshold violation indicators. The power user determines a range of
values for the indicator, chooses an icon and color, and creates an alert
message to display if the metric falls within the set range. The power user can
set the
Min and
Max values for the range, and can also set
whether those values are included in the range using
Min Inclusive and
Max Inclusive.
