Click the *Options* tab to change the following options:
- *Gauge Type* select between arc, circle and metric display type.
- *Percentage Mode* will show all values as percentages
- *Vertical Split* will put the gauges one under another instead of one next to another
- *Show Labels* selects whether you want to show or hide the labels
- *Sub Text* text for the label that appears below the value
- *Auto Extend Range* automatically grows the gauge if value is over its extents.
- *Ranges* you can add custom ranges. Each range will get assigned a color. If value falls within that range it will get
assigned that color. A chart with a single range is called a goal chart. A chart with multiple ranges is called a gauge

** A chart with a single range is called a *goal* chart.
** A chart with multiple ranges is called a *gauge* chart. Gauge charts are initialized with a predefined set of ranges. Adjust the ranges to fit the need of your data set and use case.
** *Caution:* Field formatters can be applied to the displayed value causing the range values and the displayed values to be different. For example: The _bytes_ field formatter applied to the Metrics field will have displayed values like "30MB". The raw value is really closer to 30,000,000. You will need to set your range values to the raw value and not the formatted value.
