Gauges can be displayed to show a score at many levels.
Gauge Charts can also be used with multiple elements, for example:
The color is normally determined by the rating - although this can be overridden if a specific color is associated with a section subsection or segmentation and the gauge is at that level. In the example above 50% is in the range or the Amber rating.
Gauges can show average actual scores (commonly used for Likert reporting)
The slice and color are calculated using Ratings are usual.

Examples of Gauge merge strings:
{Gauge[Survey]} |
Gauge (or Donut Chart) image for the whole survey |
{Gauge[SectionNo=4]} |
Gauge (or Donut Chart) image for section 4 |
{Gauge[SectionNo=2 SubSectionNo=2]} |
Gauge (or Donut Chart) image by subsection and section |
{Gauge[SectionNo=2 SubSectionNo=All]} |
Gauge (or Donut Chart) image by section and all subsections (separate images) |
{Gauge[Survey ShowActual=Y Decimals=1]} |
Gauge (or Donut Chart) image for the whole survey, but showing the actual (Likert) score, to one decimal place. |
{Gauge[SegmentationNo=4]} |

Multiple parameters can be specified in one merge string with one space between each one. For example:{Gauge[SectionNo=All Height=280]}
Many of the parameters are only applicable for Cohort Reports. They will be ignored in a single response feedback report.
