Overview<\/h2>\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

\"Tank<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Value<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe actual value\u00a0that determines the amount that the tank\u00a0is filled.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Minimum Value<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe minimum value below which the fill cannot fall.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Maximum Value<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe maximum value allowed for the fill.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\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 and the Maximum Value. Leave this blank to display no tick marks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Show Value:<\/strong><\/td>\nSelect this check box if you want to display the numerical value of the fill.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Decimals<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe number of decimal points for the displayed value. If the value does not contain decimal points, none will be added.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Style<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe style you want to apply to the Tank component.\u00a0If you are a Style Administrator,\u00a0you can\u00a0add a new Tank\u00a0style<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

If you're unfamiliar with the process of building pages, read the article\u00a0Building an Explorer Page<\/a>.<\/p>\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 volume of oil stored\u00a0for a selected\u00a0entity. This is often used in production summary reports.<\/p>\n
