Overview
A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a measurable metric used to assess and track an organization's performance in achieving specific goals. They provide a clear, data-driven way to make informed decisions, improve processes, and ensure alignment with strategic priorities.
The purpose of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is to measure and evaluate an organization's progress and success in achieving its goals, enabling data-driven decision-making, process improvement, and alignment with strategic objectives. KPIs help ensure that a business remains focused on what matters most for its success and allows for ongoing performance monitoring and optimization.

KPI List

When using the KPI dashboard, you can efficiently search for specific KPIs by entering their code or name in the search box provided. The "Filters are applied" will be displayed next to the search box, indicating that the list is filtered. The burger menu has the option to display the KPIs in a list or pipeline layout.
The Default Baseline and Default Target columns show the initial and expected levels of performance of the KPI.
When managing KPIs, utilize the following available options:
- Click the '+Add KPI' button to add a new KPI.
- Use the Delete icon (displayed as a bin icon) to remove unnecessary KPIs.
- Organize and filter KPIs using the Owner column, which displays the original creator of each KPI, and the associated Portfolio feature in the column next to it.
Efficiently manage your data by filtering through pages and setting the number of items displayed per page on the Items per page section.
Monitor the status of each KPI by checking the 'Up to Date' indicator, which turns green when a KPI is up to date and red if not.
