Examples
Fill Color
Determines the fill color for a Filled gauge. For more information, see Setting Properties for Gauges .
—
Minimum Value
Determines the minimum value for a Filled gauge. For more information, see Setting Properties for Gauges .
—
Maximum Value
Determines the maximum value for a Filled gauge. For more information, see Setting Properties for Gauges .
—
Target Value
Determines the target value for a Filled gauge. When a value has been entered in this field, that value appears in the gauge, and a line appears at the corresponding point in the gauge to indicate the target. This property sets a non-changing, static target value in the gauge. If you want dynamic target values in your gauge (that is, you want your target to change according to changes in your DataSet), you should add them by applying the optional third column to the gauge rather than using Chart Properties . For more information about gauge properties, see Filled Gauge .
—
Target Label
Determines the text that accompanies the target value in a Filled gauge. For more information, see Setting Properties for Gauges .
—
Value Label
Determines the text that accompanies the current value in a Filled gauge. For more information, see Setting Properties for Gauges .
—
Maximum Label
Determines the text that accompanies the maximum value in a Filled gauge. For more information, see Setting Properties for Gauges .
—
Value
Determines how the values in your values column are to be aggregated for Single Value, Filled, and Radial gauges. Options include the usual aggregations such as Sum , Average , etc., as well as First Row and Last Row , which take the value in the first or last row as the gauge value. The default option is Sum . The aggregation you select here is added to the aggregation you select in the value aggregation menu (so, for example, if you selected Average in the value aggregation menu and Sum in Chart Properties , your gauge value would be the summed averages for each category). Because having two aggregations in a chart is usually undesirable, select No Aggregation in the value aggregation menu, then in Chart Properties select your desired aggregation in the General > Value menu.

Color Source
Determines how the color of a Filled gauge is determined. Options include Fill Color (the default option), which uses the color you specify for the Fill Color property; Green Above Target , which causes the gauge to appear green if the current value is higher than the target value and red if it is below; and Green Below Target , which causes the gauge to appear red if the current value is higher than the target value and green if it is below. For the Green Above Target and Green Below Target options to work, Fill Color must be set to Default ; otherwise the color you select for Fill Color overrides this property.
—
Fill Color
Determines the fill color for a Filled gauge. Any color you select for this property overrides the Green Above Target and Green Below Target settings in the Color Source properties; therefore, if you plan to use either of these settings, you should set Fill Color to Default so the settings are not overridden.
—
Value Format
Determines the general number format for a Single Value gauge. Options include Number (which includes no special formatting), Currency (in which a currency symbol is affixed), and Percentage (in which a percent symbol is affixed).
—
Divide Value By
Refers to the number that the value in a Single Value gauge is to be divided by, if any. This option is useful when the value is very large and you want to abbreviate it by dividing by a common number. For example, if the gauge value represented millions of dollars, you could choose to divide by millions—the gauge value would then be reduced to more comprehendible single digits. When you choose to divide by Percentage , the gauge value is multiplied by 100.
—
Decimal Places
Determines the number of decimal places used in the value in a Single Value gauge. You can choose from Default , None , and options for numbers of decimal places (from ".0" to ".00000"). By default, Domo automatically determines the optimal number of decimal places for the gauge value. When you select None , the value is rounded to the nearest whole number.
—
Negative Numbers
Determines the format for negative numbers in a Single Value gauge. If you select -100 , negative values have a minus symbol affixed. If you select (100) , negative values are enclosed in parentheses.
—
Color Direction
Determines whether green fill in a Comparative Fill Gauge indicates positive (default) or negative change in the gauge.
When positive change is denoted by green, negative change is denoted by red. Alternatively, if you specify that negative change is denoted by green, then positive change is denoted by red.
In the example at right, the user has selected Negative is Green for this property. Thus, because the percent change is positive, the color fill is red.
