Features Overview- Nevron Gauge for SharePoint

Gauge Types

The Gauge Web Part for SharePoint offers a full range of advanced Gauge types, State Indicators, and Numeric Displays that give you a more meaningful way to display KPIs (key performance indicators), dashboards, and other critical data.

Radial / Circular Gauges

The Gauge Web Part Radial Gauge type displays axes, ranges and pointers in a circular fashion.

Radial Gauge Subtypes:
Radial, Quarter North East, Quarter North West, Quarter South West, Quarter South East, Half North, Half South, Half West, Half East, and Custom. When using the Custom subtype, the user can specify a custom begin angle, sweep angle, border style, etc.

Linear Gauges

The Gauge Web Part Linear Gauge type displays axes, ranges and pointers in a linear fashion.

Linear Gauge Subtypes:
Horizontal and Vertical.

Numeric Display

Numeric Led Display

The Numeric LED Display is a type of gauge that displays a numeric value with an emulated LED display. Various LED display styles are available such as Seven Segment, Fourteen Segment, and Matrix with additional modifications for the style of those displays (like rounded or rectangular LED cells). These customization options allow users to choose the display style that best suits their project and visual preferences.

Numeric LED Displays are commonly combined with other gauge elements such as Radial and Linear Gauges and state indicators and are an integral part of digital dashboards, digital control panels, and scorecards.

Numeric Led Display

Several Numeric displays using a fourteen-segment led display style, with decimal formatting. Artistic borders and glass gauge caps are applied to enhance the visual appeal of the display.

Numeric Led Display with State Indicator

Numeric displays using the Matrix LED display type in combination with State Indicators. State indicators are commonly used in combination with Numeric LED displays or Gauges to visually alarm the user that a value is outside its desired range.

Numeric Display

Numeric Displays with sign value formatting and a fixed number of LED cells.

Numeric Display in combination with Linear Gauge and State Indicator

Numeric displays in combination with a Linear Gauge and State Indicators in digital dashboard. Mixing numeric displays with Linear or Radial Gauges is very common and allows the user to have both visual and numeric representations of the value. State indictors further enhance the visual impact of the dashboard by adding color coded information whether the value is currently in its expected range.

Best Practices for Using Numeric LED Displays

Use High Contrast
Ensure there is a high contrast between the digits and the background for maximum readability.

Uniform Format
Maintain a consistent format for displaying numbers across all numeric LED displays, including decimal places and separators.

Appropriate Digit Size
Choose a digit size that is large enough to be read from the intended viewing distance.

Dynamic Color Coding
Use different colors to indicate different states, such as normal, warning, or critical values.

Gauge Formulas

Gauges are designed to provide data analysis to sets of numeric values. Gauge formulas can be applied to the aggregated sets of axis ranges {min and max}, ranges {begin and end} and pointer and numeric display values. Nevron Gauge for SharePoint supports are the following gauge formulas:

Min - finds the min value from a set.
Max - finds the max value from a set.
Average - finds the average value from a set.
Median - finds the value that splits the set in half (e.g. half of the values are smaller than median value and half are larger).
First - gets the first value from a set.
Last - gets the last value from a set.
Sum - gets the sum of all values in the set.
Count - gets the count of the values in the set.
Percentile - finds the value that splits the set in a custom percent.
Variance - the variance is used to measure the tendency of the values in the set to deviate from the average.
Standard Deviation - Returns the standard deviation of the values in the set.
