Using bulbs with a background color for dashboard on manufacturing status type page

TcheneyApr 24 2014 — edited Apr 30 2014

Hi folks!

I'm working on putting together a dashboard for manufacturing. They are wanting a label with a bulb. I have two questions, how to implement that and any other suggestions on design instead of bulbs?

Here are the details. There are several top level measures and sub level measures. They are wanting to see something like this:

Operating Plant O <- this would be a bulb with a background color and number inside.

For instance, if the plant is operating at 90% capacity, it would have a green background with "90%" in the middle of the bulb. And if it was 80%, it would be yellow. And at 65%, it would have a red background.

There are about 10 of these and each one has a handful of sub bulbs. So when the bulb is clicked, the other pane(frame) should then show the sub categories in bulb form too. And if the sub form is clicked, the records would show in a report under the two frame boxes.

I'm running Apex 4.2.4 and looking for any examples of anyone that has seen this or implemented this. I believe this type of current snap shot doesn't lend itself to bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, or scatters.

Any suggestions on how to implement or any ideas on alternatives?

Thanks!

This is a long shot since I am not quite familiar with the term "bulbs" but if you haven't already, take a look at the packaged application, Incident Tracking.  On page 50 of that application, ticket detail information is shown and there is a neat Oracle plug-in called, Completeness, used on the right side bar  It displays as a circle and appears that the colors can be conditioned by a percentage.  The only source of the plug-in that I have found is in the packaged applications.

Let me know how you make out with this.

I guess bubble would be a better word than bulb. I'm looking to give status of different systems on a dashboard. With something like a 1 to 2 CM circle that can be green, yellow, or red. And have a number in the middle.

I looked at the Completeness plugin and it is closer but on my app (4.2.4) it shows up as a rectangle.

Look underneath the Region label, Content Completeness; I see a circle,running 4.2.5.00.08 up on apex.oracle.com, that varies in color dependent on the % complete with a label in the middle that might say Weak; describing the level of completeness.  But you are seeing a rectangle?

Just took a peak at it via, IE 8; now I see a rectangle; shows as a circle via Firefox and Chrome.

What version of IE are you running?
