Definition of the dashboard symbols

To create the BAM dashboard shown in figure A dashboard definition, you will need to create the following symbols:
  • A progress bar symbol
  • A stoplight symbol
  • A region symbol
The progress bar will display the percentage of overall capacity being delivered. This percentage is displayed by a bar which changes width and color to show the percentage. The percentage is changed by altering the value of a single integer parameter, progress.
