Create Mobile Gauge Dialog

Data Controls panel then choose Create context menu ADF Mobile GaugeComponent Galleryselect gauge category and typecomplete Edit Action Binding (if available)

Use to define or edit a data binding for the ADF Mobile gauge.

A data binding is a way to connect data and methods to UI components. More

Gauges are visualizations that focus on identification of problems in data. A gauge usually plots one data point with indication of whether the data point falls in an acceptable or unacceptable range. More

Of all the settings on this dialog, only the metric is required. You may use this dialog to select attributes from the collection if minimum, maximum, and threshold values are data-bound. Alternatively, you can use the dialog to provide static, fixed values in those fields.

You can also use the Property Inspector to set minimum, maximum, and threshold values on a gauge.

If minimum, maximum, and threshold values do not exist in the data collection and if you do not set values in the Property Inspector, then the gauge chooses the values for minimum and maximum but does not use any threshold values.

You can use this dialog to affect several aspects of the look of the gauge. You can customize many other aspects of the gauge using the attributes of the gauge component in the Property Inspector.

Metric
Select the column in the data collection that contains the actual value that the gauge is to plot. For example, if you track how Sales values are progressing toward Quota values, then Sales is the metric. In a collection, each row contains the value for one gauge. The metricLabel child element allows you to format and position the metric number.

Minimum
If the data collection stores a minimum value for the gauge, then select the column that contains this value. The minimum is the value at which the gauge starts, that is, the smallest value on the value axis. Typically, the minimum is zero. The column that you select sets the minValue attribute of the gauge component in the Property Inspector.

Maximum
If the data collection stores a maximum value for the gauge, then select the column that contains this value. The maximum is the greatest value on the axis for the gauge and is often the value that the metric is being compared against. For example, if you track how Sales values are progressing toward Quota values, then Quota is the maximum. The column that you select sets the maxValue attribute of the gauge component in the Property Inspector.

Show Metric Label
Select whether or not the metric label should be displayed.

Threshold Attributes
Thresholds are values in a gauge that highlight a particular range as being acceptable or unacceptable. They are values between the minimum and maximum values. When threshold values are set, the region of the gauge for each threshold is filled with a different color. Do not create a threshold equal to the maximum value for the gauge because the gauge automatically treats the maximum value as the last threshold setting.

The gauge provides default colors for thresholds. You can specify custom colors in the Property Inspector using the color attribute of the threshold tag. For each threshold, a threshold child element is created. You can use the text attribute of this element to specify the text to display in the legend for this threshold.

Click the New icon to add a new threshold to the gauge. You can edit the threshold by clicking the empty line and selecting a value. Use the Delete icon to delete that threshold.

Background
Specify the shape and style of the dial gauge face.

Indicator
Specify the shape and style of the dial gauge pointer.
