Bullet Chart Visualization

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
For more detailed information on setting up and customizing this visualization, please refer to the tutorial Creating bullet charts with threshold markers in documents and dossiers

The Bullet Chart has five main components:

1. Text Label: defines your chart and the unit of measurement
2. Quantitative Scale: measures the value of your metric along a single linear axis
3. Primary Measure: bar representing the featured metric
4. Comparative Measures: metrics you want to compare the featured metric to
5. Qualitative Scale: 2-5 ranges along the quantitative scale that represent the performance of the primary measure 

Requirements

Object requirements:

• Attributes: 1 or more
  
• Metrics: 1 or more

• Category: 1 or more attributes
  
  Note: When there are multiple attributes, all the combinations of attributes should be listed. For example, USA Central, USA Mid-Atlantic, Web Web, etc. By default, all of the attributes should be listed like a grid.
