Creating summary metrix displays on a home page

Question

We are seeking to not show summary charts/graphs etc, but just the single number of the summary, similar to the attached.

If we've had 16 signs manufacture in a day, we don't want a pie or graph, we simply want to display the number "16" with a description.

I'm not seeing how this can be done in QuickBase. HELP.

There is a way to get closer to the look that you want to replicate the VFD.PNG look.

It is a two step process. The first is to get the values that you need onto a record. Typically this done by making a helper table with just 1 record in it act as a global summary record for your detail records and float up a summary count of the value you are looking for. For example, that might be a Summary Totals of the count of the # of Orders scheduled for Production today.

Then we use a Rich Text formula field to format that number larger and perhaps in color and we may add some other fields to provide extra text.

Then lay out those fields on a form.

As I recall, we do that by doing a preview of the form, and then using the URL for the Preview as a web page Dashboard element.

Feel free to contact me to work on this together on a a one-on-one basis.
