HOW TO USE KPI DASHBOARD
After you define values that could be used to measure your business goals, it would be great if you can use your own data sources to display a KPI dashboard that reflects your current situation or the situations in the last period of your business. It is very likely that you have your own business values in Excel/CSV files or SQL/OLAP databases and you just need a tool where you would quickly define your KPIs with success and fail thresholds and present it in the form of the web page that is easily accessible and shared with other authorized users. Kyubit BI tools include KPI creation features where you will quickly define your KPIs and create a dashboard where KPIs and other data visualizations will be displayed with its current status and latest values. Each time dashboard is opened, real-time data from your data sources are used to display current KPI status with historic values. KPI could be presented as a KPI icon with current values, last change and line chart presenting KPI values in the recent period. Another way is to display the same KPI as Gauge, Goal meter visualization or organize multiple KPIs into Scorecard that lists multiple KPIs with related data. KPI Dashboard is accessible from web browsers or mobile devices using various authentication mechanism. KPI Dashboard could be exported to PDF file or users can schedule reports and dashboard delivery with most recent data on the email at the scheduled time.


Working with KPIs

Once created, KPI (Key Performance Indicator) could be re-used on many dashboards with respect to defined permissions on the KPI. All available KPIs to current user are visible in ‘Dashboards’ -> ‘KPI’ section of Kyubit BI application.

Kyubit BI Tools KPI dashboards include Scorecards and KPIs that connects to your OLAP, SQL, ODBC, CSV data to create KPI status, indicators, metrics and charts that quickly indicates the current status of important values within your data environment. Kyubit Scorecard and KPI software include KPI visualizations that are easy to design and implement on dashboards together with other important visual metrics. KPI status is represented with the current value, KPI icon or Gauge and a small line chart that presents recent changes of values in time. Organize multiple KPIs to Scorecards that displays KPI Goal, Target, Target percentage and trend lines.
