Dashboard Number/Aggregate Widget

The Number/Aggregate widget is a versatile component of a dashboard, designed to display a single key performance indicator (KPI) as either a number or a histogram, such as a pie chart, to offer:

• Single KPI Display: Visualize a single KPI clearly and concisely.
• KPI Distribution in Bins: Display the distribution of measures across different bins for enhanced analysis.
• Color Coding: Apply color coding to bins based on conditions such as greater than, less than, etc.
• TopN Limitation: Limit the display to the top N entries for focused insights.

This widget also provides support for:

• Absolute Values: Display the exact value in the bin.
• Percentage Difference: Show the percentage change compared to a baseline.
• Threshold-Based Analysis: Highlight values that exceed a specified baseline threshold.
• Metadata Grouping: Group data in pie charts using capture metadata, such as server zone classification.
