Hello,

It would be great if the dial could intractivaly pick up the lowist and higist vaules in a dataset.

So that you could allways see exacly where you where with in the data.

Can you give more detail?

Also, with the new forums system, you can now vote for ideas - I suggest you vote for your own ideas, at the very least. Use the arrow buttons at the top-left of this page.

Dave - others have pointed out that the Dial View ranges are not currently data-driven, i.e the minimum and maximums are inputs in the Range > Edit dial range dialog, and that subsequent refreshes can introduce values above or below the the previously-set minimum and maximum.

Shall we summarise this idea as "dynamic Dial Range minimum and maximum" ?
This refinement may have to take Subsets into account, since each Dial View could be pointing at a Named Query subset, Filtered IN data, ALL Data etc.

Yep thats great! We are indeed using a named Query on ours.

Yep thats the exact point I am getting at. So for example, if mine was montoring the a rate that has allways sat between 2 and 8. If somthing go's badly wroung and that rate falls to 1. Curently it will fall of my Dial. But if it was a "dynamic Dial Range minimum and maximum" 1 would automaticaly become the new minimum vaule.

Can you post your file here, or a mockup of the same problem?

No,

I think tom gets what I mean.

Thanks

In the Range dialog, if you choose Automatic Range, doesn't this do what you want? Or are you using the Aggregation button on the view toolbar (in which case automatic range cannot work)?

Welcome!
