| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Value**                | Define a number value to display as the needle point between Min and Max. Often a [function](/reference/platform-concepts/functions.md) is used to do so.                                                                       |
| **Value Label**          | Define a value label to override the default value label. By default, the percentage of the value between Min and Max is automatically calculated and displayed.                                                                |
| **Min**                  | Define the minimum value of the gauge.                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Max**                  | Define the maximum value of the gauge.                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Number of Levels**     | Define the number of level indicators. By default, three levels are shown. Will be ignored, if **Custom Labels** is enabled.                                                                                                    |

| **Custom Levels**        | <p>Visible when <strong>Custom Levels</strong> is enabled.<br></p><p>Define custom levels, which have a color and a length defined in percentage between 0% and 100%. The total length of all levels should sum up to 100%.</p> |
| **Level Padding**        | Define the padding between the levels.                                                                                                                                                                                          |

| **Level Corner Radius**  | Define the corner radius of the levels.                                                                                                                                                                                         |
