The bullet graph is similar to the target bar<\/a>; for the selected entity it compares three different performance thresholds to a target. These thresholds are part of the datasource data.<\/p>\n

Features of the Bullet Graph<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
1. The 'Actual' performance band (blue)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

This band represents actual performance, and will end in one of the threshold bands.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

4. The 'Average' performance threshold band (medium grey)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

If the actual<\/em> value ends in this band, then performance is considered to be 'average'.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

2. Target line<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

This is the target that would ideally be exceeded (with the actual line exceeding this).\u00a0The target can sit anywhere on the graph.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

5. The 'Good' performance threshold band (light grey)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

If the actual<\/em> value ends in this band, then performance is considered to be 'good'.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

3. The 'Bad' performance threshold band (dark grey)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

If the actual<\/em> value ends in this band, then performance is considered to be 'bad'.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

6. Tooltips showing numerical values<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Hover over any of the bands, or the target line, to see the value it represents.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Right-click<\/span><\/h2>\n

Depending on what data your bullet graph\u00a0has been configured to display, when you right-click on it\u00a0a variety of menu options will be presented.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
