Hi there,
Iโm very new to the Looker and need some help to get the KPI indicator on the dashboard. I want to know how to add the KPI indicator in the dashboard. So, suppose if the growth is positive then the indicator should show a โgreen upward triangleโ and if itโs less than 0, I want to show the โred downward triangleโ. Please find the snapshot for the same.
I saw this on Lookerโs website but couldnโt find the tutorial for the same (hereโs the website for the same: https://looker.com/blog/4-easy-ways-to-embed-analytics-with-looker). Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi @Simant_Sah,
For these sort of things, I like to look at official Looker dashboards where these features are being used. If you are an admin, you can do the following:
Under โLabsโ Setting, enable the Beta feature called โSystem Activity Modelโ.
Next, click on the โAdminโ tab and you will see the new System Activity Dashboards.
Select the dashboard called โDatabase Performanceโ.
Click on the title of the Look called โResults from Cacheโ. This will open the Look as an Explore.
You can now see how the Look is built and can easily recreate it.
I hope this helps! Iโm sure you can get it from here. However, if you still donโt understand how to get it, let me know and I can explain how comparisons work in more detail.
All the best,
Jasper
Thanks, Jasper. It was very helpful!!
How can I do this if I do not have admin access? @Simant_Sah @blue1
You can achieve that if you grant any user the following permission: see_system_activity
Then they will be able to access System Activity Explores
from what @Simant_Sah uploaded, the very first image attached. how do I get that add the Total order's text under the KPI number?
Hi @Kehinde,
The text under the KPI is the title of the Look.
You can also overwrite the title in the Visualization settings.
All the best,
