About
The AllDayIT Speedometer Widget is a versatile dashboarding tool that displays totaled values in a Speedometer gauge visualization. The widget can be used in a single board’s chart tab, or in a Dashboard monitoring values across multiple boards and groups.
​
Values and percentages are numerically displayed in the widget as well as in a legend below the Speedometer. Goal and/or Stretch Goal values can be added for more business context. Displaying multiple Speedometers in a Dashboard for different KPIs or tracked values can ease the job of monitoring large multidimensional operations.
The speedometer features a customizable five-section colored heatmap scale that elucidates whether the current total is low or high. Text labels (also color-customizable) can be added to each gradient section. There are toggles to abbreviate large numbers, and to show or hide percentage tick-marks underneath the colored scale.
Implementation Notes
For each use case, the widget can be configured to:
-
Display multiple goals (baseline and stretch goals)
-
Filter by specific criteria (department, individual, project, etc.)
-
Show progress only for completed items or include in-progress items
-
Aggregate data across multiple boards for comprehensive reporting
-
Update in real-time as data changes
​
The visual nature of the speedometer makes it particularly effective for:
-
Quick status checks in dashboard views
-
Performance comparisons across teams or individuals
-
Progress monitoring in client-facing presentations
-
Executive summary reports
