Procedure documentationModeling KPIs

 

If your app uses a KPI tile, you can define new KPIs or adapt predefined KPIs to determine what information is displayed and how it is visualized in the tile. To enable users to model KPIs based on their requirements, SAP provides the SAP Smart Business modeler apps.

You can model your own KPIs according to your business needs and activate them. SAP also delivers predefined KPIs that do need modeling but do not need activation as they are delivered in an active state.

For information about whether your app uses a KPI tile, see the app-specific documentation in the section SAP Fiori Apps.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the SAP Smart Business modeler apps on the front-end server and on the SAP HANA server.

  • Your front-end user is assigned the PFCG role /UI2/SAP_KPIMOD_TCR_S.

  • Your SAP HANA user is assigned the roles sap.hba.r.sb.core.roles::SAP_SMART_BUSINESS_MODELER and sap.hba.r.sb.core.roles::SAP_SMART_BUSINESS_RUNTIME.

Procedure

  1. Choose the tile of an SAP Smart Business modeler app.

  2. Create the required KPIs by using the Create KPI app.

  3. Create any required evaluations of the KPIs by using the Create Evaluation app.

  4. Assign authorizations to the relevant users by using the Manage KPI Authorizations app.

  5. Activate the KPIs and evaluations.

  6. Create the tiles for the active evaluations and configure the drill-down navigation paths by using the Configure KPI Tiles app.

  7. Configure the generic drill-down application for the KPIs by using the Configure KPI Drill-Down app.

Note Note

In steps 1, 2, 3, and 6, you can use the entities provided by SAP as templates for your own KPIs.

To do so:

  1. Copy the KPIs to your own namespace by using the KPI Workspace app.

  2. Re-create any evaluations and tiles in your own namespace.

  3. Adapt the objects according to your needs.

End of the note.
