Are you using the tracked variable to measure the content of items in a process or set of processes? If so it may be easier to create a process flow Zone to "wrap" to get the statistics you are looking for.

You can add a Statistics Collector to get this information from the Tracked Variable to display on a chart in the Dashboard. See the attached model. tracked-variable-data.fsm

To configure this statistics collector, I did the following:

  • Select "Enumerate Rows" for the row creation mode.
  • Add the tracked variable as one of the enumerated rows.
  • Add columns for each data stat you want (current, minimum, maximum, average, etc).
  • For the value, cast the rowValue variable as a Tracked Variable to access the tracked variable properties that you want (value, minimum, maximum, average, etc).

Using this method, you can actually create whatever table of data you want, including a matrix of this information for multiple statistics collectors:

Then you can plot it on the dashboard using a variety of chart types:
