Ranges in a radial gauge chart divide the chart into segments based on specific values. This helps visualize data distribution and performance against predefined thresholds.

• Access the Edit Ranges Modal by clicking on ranges dropdown.

• Choose a Color Scale: Select a color scheme for your ranges from the dropdown options including various gradient and divergent scales.

  • Number of Ranges: Adjust the number of ranges by typing a value or using the increment/decrement arrows. The minimum number of ranges is 2.

  • Range Settings: Each range has two main settings:

    • Ring Percent: Determines the percentage of the gauge covered by the range. By default, ranges are evenly distributed.

    • Color: Choose a color for the range. You can select a color from the available options or customize it.
