Linear Gauge Flow
This flow covers the 6 steps for the horizontal or vertical progress bar — the Linear Gauge. Step 4 is the dedicated Linear Gauge Axis Design screen where orientation, axis range, bar/marker pointer, and range bands are configured. Steps 5, 6, and 7 are skipped.
Chart Types Using This Flow
| Chart Type | Primary Use | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Linear Gauge | Horizontal/vertical progress bar, target visualization | Linear Gauge |
Radial Gauge Is a Separate Flow
Radial Gauge uses a different Axis Design screen for the circular pointer gauge. → Radial Gauge Flow

Step Pages
This flow runs 6 of the wizard steps (5, 6, and 7 are not present):
| # | Step | Page | Key Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Group Selection | 01 — Group Selection | Select the Gauge card |
| 2 | Chart Type Selection | 02 — Chart Type | Linear Gauge card |
| 3 | Compass Record Selection | 03 — Compass Record | Single row, single numeric value |
| 4 | Linear Gauge Axis Design | 04 — Linear Axis Design | Orientation, range, bar/marker pointer, range bands, value source |
| 8 | Card Design | 08 — Card Design | Refresh, Border, Info Card |
| 9 | Display Information | 09 — Display Info | Name, Tags, Folder |
Steps Not in This Flow
| Skipped Step | Purpose in the standard flow | Why it isn't needed here |
|---|---|---|
| 5 — Series Design | Color, marker, and data label settings for line/bar series | The gauge shows a single instantaneous value; there is no "series" concept |
| 6 — Add Series | Add a second/third series to the chart | The gauge does not support multiple series |
| 7 — General Design | Title, legend, tooltip, axis, zoom settings | All visual settings (orientation, bar/marker pointer, range bands, labels) are consolidated in Step 4 — Axis Design |
Data Requirements
The Linear Gauge query must return a single row with a single numeric value.
| Column | Type | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Value column | NUMERIC | Instantaneous value displayed on the linear gauge |
