Changing the layout of the KPI chart
You can customize the layout of the KPI chart. For example, you can choose to start each KPI on a new row, specify the minimum tile width, or how many tiles should at least be visible without having to scroll.
Each of the following steps are optional, however, it is highly recommended to follow the order specified here.
Procedure
-
Right-click the KPI chart, and select
Properties in the opened menu.
The Properties pop-over with a side panel is displayed.
-
In the side panel, select the top item.
The top item shows the title of the KPI chart.The Properties pop-over for the generic settings is displayed.
-
In the pop-over, select
Layout.
The Layout section is shown.
-
Select the check box
Start each KPI on a new row to be able to
better distinguish the individual KPIs from each other.
- Select Show titles to display the title above each KPI
- Adjust the spacing between the KPIs by specifying the number of pixels in Additional spacing (in pixels).
-
Under
Min tile width relative to font size (in
pixels), specify the minimum tile width that you accept.
Note:
If the width falls below this value due to lack of space in a row of tiles when the visualization is resized, tiles will be moved to the next row in the grid. If tiles cannot be moved to the next row or must remain visible due to what has been set in Min number of tiles per row and Min number of visible tiles, the tiles will be scaled down while keeping the ratio between the tile width and the font size.
The minimum tile width is relative to the font size. If you change the font size, the tile width is automatically increased or decreased by the same multiple as the font size. For example, when you increase the font size from 9 to 18, the tile width doubles automatically. The value specified in Min tile width relative to font size (in pixels) however, stays the same. This value only reflects the tile width as the actual number of pixels, when the font size is set to Default. In the installed client, you can change the font size for a specific visualization. In the web client, however, you can only change the Default font size in the Custom theme settings.
- Under Min number of tiles per row, specify how many tiles must remain in one row when the visualization is resized.
- Under Min number of visible tiles, specify how many tiles must remain visible without having to scroll when the visualization is resized.
