I want to change background color of multiple Single Value Panels with one global variable?

Hi All,

I am sorry if someone already asked this questions. Below is my scenario please let me know if anyone has some answers.

In My dashboard, I have multiple single value Panels in 5 different rows. Each single value panel will show the total Percentage (0-100). If one panel is changed to red color ( <80% ), I want all the remaining panels to change to red color. I am not able to figure it out.

Can we set a value as global and pass that value to all panels and change the color??

Please provide some suggestions. Thanks in Advance.

There are certainly ways you can do that, but it would be terrible UI design. In essence, you are REDUCING the accuracy of the information that the interface is giving to the user by eliminating her ability to tell which KPI is outside of the acceptable range.

Consider the alternative, for example, of putting a bar or box around or across the whole area instead, and having that bar change based on the worst of the other ratings. While that is still an unnecessary visual element, at least the user could still tell at a glance which other element was in error.

Another alternative might be, if any KPI went red, then all green KPIs might go grey, leaving yellows and reds at their actual color. This reduces visual clutter while still highlighting required information.
