The bullet graph is similar to the target bar; for the selected entity it compares three different performance thresholds to a target. These thresholds are part of the datasource data.
Features of the Bullet Graph
| 1. The 'Actual' performance band (blue):
This band represents actual performance, and will end in one of the threshold bands. |
4. The 'Average' performance threshold band (medium grey):
If the actual value ends in this band, then performance is considered to be 'average'. |
| 2. Target line:
This is the target that would ideally be exceeded (with the actual line exceeding this). The target can sit anywhere on the graph. |
5. The 'Good' performance threshold band (light grey):
If the actual value ends in this band, then performance is considered to be 'good'. |
| 3. The 'Bad' performance threshold band (dark grey):
If the actual value ends in this band, then performance is considered to be 'bad'. |
6. Tooltips showing numerical values:
Hover over any of the bands, or the target line, to see the value it represents. |
Right-click
Depending on what data your bullet graph has been configured to display, when you right-click on it a variety of menu options will be presented.
| Menu option | Displayed for |
| Open Trend | Time series data. Opens a trend containing a trace of the data. |
| Open Detail | Attribute value or tag. Opens the Point Detail page of the data point. |
| Write Value | Attribute value or tag, if the datasource allows writing to the database. Opens the Enter value dialog, where you can change the value of the data point. |
Hover
When you hover over a bullet graph, a tooltip appears showing relevant values.

Release History
- Using a Bullet Graph 4.5.4 (this release)
- Last measure region obeys limits set in the editor, instead of filling the width of the container
- Added a fixed padding on the right equal to 1/2 of the target line thickness (specified in the style setting)
- The target bar is centred on the target value, instead of the left edge of the target bar corresponding with the target value
