FAQ

1. What is the main difference between a ticker board and a scorecard?

Answer: The main difference is the number of metrics displayed. A ticker board displays only one core metric, highlighting this number with dynamic effects. A scorecard can display one or more metrics simultaneously and can also associate 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" and also see its month-on-month growth rate. Is this possible?

Answer: A ticker board can display only one measure field directly. If you want to show the month-on-month growth rate alongside sales, do not implement it within the same ticker board widget. Instead, pre-calculate the month-on-month growth rate as a new measure in your dataset. Then, use two ticker board widgets—one for sales and one for the month-on-month growth—or use a "scorecard" or "metric trends" widget that supports displaying primary and secondary metrics.

3. How do I make the numbers in a ticker board display in red when they exceed 1,000,000?

Answer: Achieve this by configuring conditional formatting. In Style > Conditional Formatting, go to the Text tab under Custom Styles, add a rule, and set the condition to "When [Your metric field] > 1000000". Then, set the text color to red.
