Status indicators allow you to call attention to a widget on your dashboard when it's performing above and below expectations. You can add status indicators to number widgets and Geck-o-meters.
Status indicators for number widgets
Adding a Warning when the value displayed on your number widget is above or below a certain number will cause your widget to turn red when this occurs.
Setting a value for Success when the value is above or below a certain number will instead cause your widget text to turn green when this is met.
To alter the sequence of Warning/Success when configuring a status indicator, click on the indicator at the top (usually a Warning) to reveal a menu.
Note
If your widget uses a secondary comparison metric, it will be hidden from view when either the red warning or green success status indicator is displaying.
To add status indicators to a number widget, follow these steps:
- Hover your mouse pointer over the dashboard number widget you want to add a status indicator to.
- Click the in the top right corner to bring up the widget options.
- Click .
- In the Add status indicators window, add figures that will trigger a Warning state, Success state, or both depending on whether the number displayed on your widget climbs above or falls below.
Note
Adding a status indicator will overwrite the goals you have set for this widget.

- And you're done!
Status indicators for Geck-o-meters
Adding a Warning when the value displayed on your Geck-o-Meter is above or below a certain number will cause a section of your gauge to glow red when this occurs.
Setting a value for Success when the value is above or below a certain number will instead cause a section of your gauge to turn green when this is met.
Note
We no longer offer goals for the Geck-o-meter widget. Any goals that were set before the introduction of status indicators will become the Success value for the widget.
