Gauges / Dashboards

Hello all,

 

Is there a way to control the way gauges are displayed on a dashboard?, in terms of things like:

 

1) Whether or not a key / legend is included.

2) Position / size of the title.

3) Size of the graph area relative to the overall size of the gauge. (I've noticed sometimes the charts are small and the gauge contains a lot of empty space).

 

Thanks

Jamsta.

Haha I'm in the same boat. Figured I'd throw it out there anyways.

If you need more control, you can use Explore Analytics -- it allows you to do live reporting against ServiceNow as well as other sources, publish those as gauges to ServiceNow home pages, and control whether elements (e.g. the legend/title/controls) are visible to the user.



The size of the graph is scaled to the size of the iFrame, so you can specify exactly the height and width you want. There's also an (optional) button that can pop open the report into a new window full screen, if the report gets tough to read on the dashboard.Users can drill through to ServiceNow data, or drill down onto sub-reports. These reports also work better than ServiceNow gauges in the CMS portal (example here -- you won't have the full interactive controls because you're not logged in)



There's a free thirty day trial if you're interested in exploring it further.
