Ampler inserts predefined infographic elements with adjustable states — and lets you build your own, so visuals like maturity dials or progress markers are consistent and quick to set.
Quick answer: Click Insert infographic and choose an element, then set its state with the arrow or by typing; to make your own, select the states and choose Create Infographics.
How to use it
Insert a predefined infographic
Insert an infographic element and set its state.
- Click Insert infographic and select the desired element from the library.
- Use the arrow to navigate the states, or type the value in directly.
Create your own infographic
Select the states you want and create your own infographic.
- Select the desired states of the infographic.
- Click Create Infographics from the infographics dropdown.
Your own infographic then behaves like the predefined ones, with states you can switch between.
Keyboard shortcut
The infographic functions have no default shortcut. To assign one, open the Settings dropdown on the Ampler ribbon, choose Shortcuts, click Set shortcut on the function, and press your key combination.
Why use it
State-based visuals — a dial that’s a quarter, half, or three-quarters full; a progress marker — are fiddly to draw and easy to make inconsistent. Ampler’s dynamic infographics are predefined elements whose state you set with an arrow or a value, so they’re uniform and fast to adjust.
How consultants use it
State-based infographics — Harvey balls, maturity dials, progress markers — are a consulting staple for scoring and assessment exhibits, and they have to be visually consistent to be read at a glance. Three habits apply:
- Consistent scoring visuals: every dial or ball in an assessment looks identical, differing only by state.
- Set by value, not by hand: the state is chosen with an arrow or a number, so it’s exact.
- Reusable, even custom: your own infographics behave like the built-in ones across decks.
Dynamic infographics make assessment visuals uniform and quick.
Tips & best practices
- Use them for maturity assessments and scorecards where every marker must match.
- Set the state by typing the value for precision.
- Save custom infographics you reuse to your library.
