• Have you ever had a situation were you would like to see how your measurement is doing and how close is it of its allowed Upper and Lower limits? 
• Have you ever tried to create a dashboard where you can easily see the status of your equipment and in which zone is it performing?

Up until now, in TrendMiner we could create a monitor that tells/notify us whenever a limit is surpassed or reached. Additionally, in a dashboard we could create a monitor tile that will change when this monitor has been triggered. But this only allows 2 status: On/Off, Good/Bad, etc. If we want to have more statuses, we were already limited by the use of only one tile.

An easy workaround is usually to create a traffic light system, where monitor tiles are used for each different status. For example, in a tank level, in order to have Low, Intermediate and High level, we would need 3 monitor tiles as shown in the picture.

Having this in place, we will have a clear overview on where our tank level is and which is the current state. 

Nevertheless, this solution is not that clear for certain parameters or situations and some people might find it difficult to implement for their own scenarios.

Therefore, following some functionalities proposed by our customers in our product ideas section such as implementing a Gauge Tile is key to continue our development towards the ease of use and tailor our product to your requirements! To view or contribute to these ideas, make sure you're signed up and marked as a customer in the community.

The TrendMiner team is always eager to collect feedback and listen to new ideas. Also, in our Innovator’s Circle group our product owners makes surveys to shape features as they are being developed!

Since the Gauge tile is an idea voted by our customers and requested several times, in our next release you will have it! Here is a sneak peak on how it will look like:

This is again another clear example on how our TrendMiner Community shapes our product, and how customers can provide their feedback. Do not hesitate to reach out and post your ideas!
