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 with dynamic effects. A scorecard can display one or more metrics simultaneously and supports dimensional grouping, 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 supports only one measure field. To display both sales and its month-on-month growth rate, pre-calculate the growth rate as a new measure in your dataset. Then use two ticker board widgets—one for sales and one for the growth rate—or use a “scorecard” or “metric trends” widget that supports 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: Use conditional formatting. Go to Style > Conditional Formatting, open the Text tab under Custom Styles, add a rule with the condition “When [Your metric field] > 1000000”, and set the text color to red.
