FAQ

1. What are the main differences between a ticker board and an indicator dashboard?

Answer: The main difference lies in the number of indicators displayed. A ticker board is designed to display only one core indicator, highlighting this number through dynamic effects. An indicator dashboard can display one or multiple indicators simultaneously, and typically can be associated with a dimension for grouped display (such as showing sales and profit by region).

2. I want to use a ticker board to display "Sales" while also showing its month-over-month growth rate. Is this possible?

Answer: A ticker board itself can only directly display one measure field. If you want to display the month-over-month growth rate alongside it, this typically cannot be implemented within the same ticker board component. You may need to pre-calculate the month-over-month growth rate as a new measure in your dataset, then use two ticker board components (one displaying sales, one displaying the month-over-month comparison), or use components that support displaying primary and secondary indicators such as "indicator dashboard" or "indicator trend chart".

3. How can I make the numbers in a ticker board display in red when they exceed 1 million?

Answer: You can achieve this by configuring conditional formatting. In Style > Conditional formatting, select the Text tab under Custom style. Add a rule setting the condition as "When [your indicator field] > 1000000", then select to set the text color to red.
