Use the KPI Details view to explore details about a standard KPI.

Integration

The KPI Details view appears when you select a KPI in the Scorecard Overviews view, Scorecard Comparison view, and certain Details views of the Scorecard component. The KPI Details view also appears when you select a KPI in various aspects of the Strategy component.

Features

The KPI Details view has the following features:

  • You can review the measures used to determine the KPI's status indicator color and performance. The deviation between the actual and target values is used to determine the standard KPI's score. The score is matched to a point on the colored dial, and that point determines the KPI's status indicator color.

    Note Note

    If you do not see a Target value, but you do see a Forecast or Benchmark column (or something similar), it means your site is set up to use a Type dimension. The Type dimension has members that allow you to switch what is being compared to actual, such as target, forecast, or benchmark. The Dimension Filters allow you to switch from one Type dimension member to another.

    End of the note.

  • You can review the Gap Performance measure which is used to determine the KPI's trend indicator.

    Upward arrow

    The trend is on the rise. This happens when the KPI's Gap Performance value is better than the high number in the Stable Gap Performance Range depicted in the KPI Details screen.

    Downward arrow

    The trend is downward. This happens when the KPI's Gap Performance value is lower than the low number in the Stable Gap Performance Range.

    Solid black line

    The trend is steady. This happens when the KPI's Gap Performance value is between the two numbers in the Stable Gap Performance Range.

    The trend indicator is an optional setting that your scorecard administrator sets up. Your KPIs may not show any trend indicators if your scorecard administrator did not set implement this feature.

  • The colored dial shows the range of acceptable and unacceptable colors. There may be three or five colors depending on how your strategy management administrator set up the application. The colored dial points to the current status color of the KPI. This color is also represented numerically as the KPI's score.
