Sparkline

Chart

Chart (2x height)

Chart (4x height)

Charts of the data retrieved for each row of the dashboard.

Chart scaling:

  • The Sparkline is scaled to the minimum and maximum data points, and no limits (for example, Control or Gate) are displayed.

  • The Chart, Chart (2x height), and Chart (4x height) are scaled according to data points or limits as follows:

Choosing the limits:
If the chart defaults for the current configuration are set to display Gate limits, but not Control limits, these charts use the Gate limits and/or data to scale the chart. Otherwise, these charts use Control limits and/or data to scale the chart.

Scaling the top of the chart:
The top of the chart is scaled to the maximum data point or the upper limit, whichever is higher. (When using Gate limits, and the upper Gate limit is not set for this standard or process specification, the top of the chart is scaled to the maximum data point.)
The upper limit only displays on the chart when the maximum data point falls above this limit.

Scaling the bottom of the chart:
The bottom of the chart is scaled to the minimum data point or the lower limit, whichever is lower. When using Gate limits, and the lower Gate limit is not set for this standard or process specification, the bottom of the chart is scaled to the minimum data point.)
The lower limit is only displayed on the chart when the minimum data point falls below this limit.

Chart height:

  • The Sparkline and Chart are sized to the same height as the font used for the dashboard.

  • The Chart (2x height) is sized to two times the height of the font used for the dashboard.

  • The Chart (4x height) is sized to four times the height of the font used for the dashboard.

Chart width:

  • The chart width is automatically sized to six times the height of the chart.

  • The data mean is displayed on all charts.

  • You cannot change the colors or line types used to display the data or limits.

Note: When sending a graphical dashboard to any destination except Microsoft Word or a RTF file, GainSeeker takes a picture of the portion of the dashboard window that is visible on your monitor.
