This article applies to the Tank component in versions 4.3.2 and earlier of P2 Explorer. For help on the latest version, see Tank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

The Tank\u00a0displays a data value as the percentage fill in a simulated tank shape.<\/p>\n

The following diagram shows a Tank being configured:<\/p>\n

Number of Ticks<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe number of tick marks to display on the tank. The number specified here serves as a guide, Explorer will determine the final number of tick marks so that they are evenly spaced between the Minimum Value Column\u00a0and the Maximum Value Column. Leave blank to display no tick marks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Tutorial<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Tank\u00a0is a useful component to display volume levels. In this topic, we\u2019ll show you how to use the Tank\u00a0to display the monthly volume of oil stored\u00a0for various entities. This is often used in production summary reports.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at how we\u2019re actually going to do this, step-by-step.<\/p>\n

Step by Step: Creating a Tank That Displays Stored Oil Volumes for a\u00a0Selected\u00a0Entity<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Before you start, open a new tab in Explorer and click the \u201cCreate a New Page in Studio Mode\u201d thumbnail.\u00a0Choose the grid<\/a>\u00a0layout \u2013 you can adjust the rows and columns if you like but it\u2019s not important for this exercise.<\/p>\n

You will need to adjust the configuration to suit your data at your site.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Add\u00a0the source data<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before we can display any\u00a0data on the page, \u00a0we need to add the source data.<\/p>\n
