Bullet

In Wyn Enterprise, the Bullet control is used to compare a single value measure with the target value defined in the control properties. The Bullet control serves as an alternative to the dashboard gauges.


Using the Bullet control, you can define the worst value at the beginning and the best value at the end of the bullet graph. You can also define a qualitative range (bad, satisfactory, and good) on the bullet graph to view the position of the key measures within the range.

Structure

The structure of the Bullet control is described below:

Structure of Bullet control

  • Value: Value is used to define the key measure on the graph.

  • Worst Value: Worst Value defines the least value on the bullet graph.

  • Best Value: Best Value defines the highest value on the bullet graph.

  • Target Value: Target value is used to visualize and compare a measure.

  • Range 1 Boundary: Range 1 Boundary defines the boundary between bad and satisfactory values.
