You can use a dashboard to visualize the actual situation of a metric and display the percentage of the metric. For example, you can check the inventory of a commodity. If the inventory is insufficient, you can replenish the inventory in a timely manner. This topic describes how to add data to a dashboard and configure the style.
Prerequisites
