How to create a time gauge or something similar?

Time Gauge.jpg

Hello,

I am trying to create a widget to display on a dashboard. This widget will give the viewer an immediate idea of where the project is in the project timeline. Ideally, the widget would look like the time gauge image attached.

There would be 4 segments instead of 3. The needle depicts where the current date falls on the project timeline, and therefore identifies the current activity. (this is an extreme example, with the needle almost on the border between segments; please ignore that as the needle should move across the gauge each day since it represents the current day)

Please note that the segment sizes would be a function of the total number of days in the segment, rather than cumulative project days.

Hi @smazzate ,

I don't think that capability exists currently. Someone may have other ideas, but you could use a symbol set to get something similar. Link to symbols below. Create a formula to generate the symbol you want to represent progress.
