Letās take a look at some of the common ways Gauge Reports are used:
š° Revenue Metrics (Closed won $ vs. Goal)
Letās say you aim for a monthly revenue goal of $100K, cool. Let's get a gauge report set up to track your progress.
First, head to "Reports" and click "Custom Report Builder".
Choose the āGaugeā chart type and āAmountā as your Value to track revenue. Set the aggregation to 'Sum' to track your total revenue.
Add some filters to zoom in on the data we want to track. Select āDeal Stageā > any of āAll closed wonā and āCreate Dateā > āThis month so farā since we're tracking monthly revenue.
Now, let's make it visual! In "Chart Settings", select your colour palette to represent different revenue ranges. This will help you see how close (or far) you are from your goal.
And that's it! You've created a gauge report to track your monthly revenue measured against your target/goal.

And so much more! Now, you want to see how quickly your service team closes tickets.
To create this report, select āTime to closeā as your āValueā, and set the aggregation to 'Averageā.

Now, just add values to your bands, and... thatās it! Your report is ready!š

Select āCount of Dealsā as your value, and add a filter for deals created this month - āCreate Dateā > āThis month so farā
Then, add some bands to your report and use colours to indicate performance.
Now you'll have a real-time view of your team's progress toward their deal targets, no manual check-ins are required! š„³
