The gauge widget is really good to use in an app in order to show progress to the user. Management will also like to see that in their dashboard and I think the only way to show it in a dashboard is to include it as an Analysis tool.
Good afternoon @hed,
Thanks for this suggestion!
I agree that having a gauge available in analytics could be very valuable, this request has been submitted to the product team and we will keep you posted as there are updates.
In the meantime, you could create a variable in your app and have it set to the target (or upper limit). If you then include it in a Multiple Operations Analytics, the actual vs. target can be displayed to show progress against the objective.
This is what it could look like (where the Target is a variable with a default value of 10):
Let me know if this makes sense!
Thanks,
Gio

Hello ! I was using Gauge in analytics and assigned an variable (number) to it , but it does not update in the dashboard that i have created. I have cross checked, the variable has the required data in the test screen but it is not reflected to the gauge diagram. Why is this the case ? Can you please help me solve this ?
Hey there!
By chance, the variable that the gauge is reporting, does it have data associated with it? If you have only run the app in dev/test mode, there is a chance there may not be data associated with that variable since dev mode does not save app data and that could be why it isn’t showing up. If you run your app in player, it will log that data and then you should see it in your gauge analytic.
If that doesn’t help, if you can provide some screenshots and more details about the the specific variable you are looking at, we can debug further!
Hello Beth,
I have tried running it in player and the widget still did not show up.
I am posting multiple images with numbers marked from 1-5.
Image 1 : shows the step 1 of how the variable is calculated
Image 2 : shows the step 2 of how the variable(data we need) is calculated
Image 3 : Assignment of the variable to the gauge analytics
Image 4 : Confirms variable having the right data we want to present
Image 5 : Shows the app running in TULIP player(but the issue persists)
FYI : Both of the calculation triggers are running on timer with an interval of 1s.
Thanks for the additional information! By chance, when you look at the completions for this app, are they all cancelled completions (You can check this in the completions tab of the app editor overview page, in the column “Canceled”)? If the app is not run through completely (and cancelled) the variable would not show up in the analytic.
Yup! they were cancelled. Changed the status and now the app seems to be working. Thanks
