In this article
Global dashboard indicators allow you to configure reports in less time by applying them to multiple components.
To create an indicator, open a dashboard and click on the Indicators tab in the left-hand panel.
There are two types of dashboard indicators in the system:
When creating a variable, select its type. For some types, functions can be applied to their values.
Dimensions and measures are created similarly to global workspace indicators.
Indicator Data Types
| Data Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Stored in two bytes as an unsigned number of days since 1970-01-01. Allows storing values from slightly before the start of Unix time till an upper limit determined by a compile-time constant (currently up to the year 2106, with the last fully supported year being 2105) |
| DateTime | Stores a moment in time that can be represented as a calendar date and time. DateTime allows consideration of time zones for stored values |
| Datetime64 | Stores a moment in time that can be represented as a calendar date and time of day with specified precision down to fractions of a second |
| Decimal (Decimal32, Decimal64, Decimal128) | Signed decimal numbers that presence the accuracy of addition, multiplication, and subtraction operations. For division, digits not fitting into the least significant decimal place are discarded (not rounded) |
| Float (Float32, Float64) | Floating point numbers. It is recommended to store data in integer form whenever possible. For example, convert fixed-point numbers such as monetary amounts or page load times in milliseconds to integer values |
| Int-UInt (Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64) | Integers with fixed length, either signed or unsigned |
| String | Strings of arbitrary and unlimited length. Values can contain any set of bytes, including null bytes |
Important
Other data types must be converted to strings for operation.
