KPI List portlet
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) provide the means to track critical performance variables over time. You use the KPI List Setup Portlet to create a table of KPIs that can be viewed in the Start Center.
The KPI List displays the Actual, Target, and Variance values for each KPI.
Colors are used for an at-a-glance estimate of the value. When the KPI is set up, caution and alert values can be set. When the value of the KPI is in the safe zone, it is green. When the value of the KPI is between the caution and alert values, it is yellow. And when the value of the KPI is above the alert value, it is red.
There is also a status indicator of the directional trend since the last reading. For example, if a KPI is yellow but was previously red, then this trend is good. But if it is yellow and was previously green this trend is cause for concern.
The same information is displayed in the KPI Graph portlet, but in graphical format. You can display different KPIs in KPI List and KPI Graph.
