Family Field Descriptions

KPI Records

KPI records store basic information about Key Performance Indicators. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the KPI family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

This family is not enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be accessed by any user with the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer to the Site Filtering section of the documentation.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Alert Distribution List	Text	The Security Users who have been designated to receive alerts from this KPI.	This field is populated automatically with the names of the recipients you defined when you created an alert in the Add Recipient of Alerts section.
Alert Message	Character	The text of the email message sent to a user when an alert is triggered.	This field is populated automatically with the text you defined in the Additional Notes box when you created an alert.
Alert Value	Number	The value that a KPI must meet in order to trigger an alert message.	This field is automatically populated with the number you defined in the Alert Configuration dialog box when creating an alert. When the KPI reaches this value, the text in the Alert Message field is sent in an email message to the users identified in the Alert Distribution List field.
Best value	Number	The optimal output level.	This field is automatically populated with the value you entered on the Limits section of the KPI Datasheet section. This value is used to calculate the normalized score that is assigned to the KPI when it is created.
Critical Value	Number	The output value that indicates that the KPI has reached a low performance level and is not reaching its potential target.	This field is populated automatically with the value you entered in the Limits section of the KPI Datasheet section.
Has Score Only	Logical	Indicates whether the Score is the only value displayed on the Trend Chart.	If this field is set to True, the KPI's Actual, Target, Critical and Stretch values are not displayed on the Trend Chart or Trend Data. Instead, only the score will be displayed for that KPI. There are formulas to calculate the score value.
KPI Schedule	Text	Information about the KPI schedule and how frequently to update measurements over a period of time.	This field stores the schedule information that you define via the Schedule section of the KPI design page.
Last Measure Update	Date	The date the KPI measurements were last updated.	If the KPI is successfully executed, this value is populated automatically with the current date.
Name	Character	The name of the KPI.	You can enter a name for the KPI into this field manually.
Schedule Last Run Date	Date	The most recent date that a KPI was updated by a scheduled update.	If the KPI is scheduled as a recurring item, after successful execution, this value is populated automatically with the current date. This field is not on a datasheet by default.
Schedule Next Run Date	Date	The next date that a KPI is scheduled to take place.	If the KPI is scheduled as a recurring item, after successful execution, this value is populated automatically with the next scheduled run date based on the KPI's schedule frequency. If the KPI is not scheduled as a recurring item, this field is not populated with a value. This field is not on a datasheet by default.
Stretch Value	Number	The output value that is much higher than a target value, demanding a breakthrough performance.	This field is automatically populated with the value you entered in the Limits section of the KPI Datasheet section.
Target Value	Number	The output value that is your aim for the KPI measurement at a given time.	This field is automatically populated with the value you entered in the Limits section of the KPI Datasheet section.
Worst Value	Number	The output value that should be strictly avoided.	This field is automatically populated with the value you entered in the Limits section of the KPI Datasheet section. This value is used to calculate the normalized score that is assigned to the KPI when it is created.

KPI Measurement Records

KPI Measurement records store information about the measurement values used in a KPI. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the KPI Measurement family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.


Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Actual	Number	The actual value for a KPI on a particular date.	Automatically populated from KPI data source.
Critical	Numeric	The critical value for a KPI on a particular date.	Automatically populated from a KPI or KPI datasource.
Event Start Date	Date	The KPI measurement date.	Populated automatically from KPI data source.
Stretch	Numeric	The stretch value for a KPI on a particular date.	Automatically populated from KPI or KPI data source. Not visible on KPI datasheet
Target	Numeric	The target value for a KPI on a particular date.	Automatically populated from KPI or KPI data source. Not visible on KPI datasheet.

KPI Objective, KPI Perspective, and Scorecard Records

KPI Objective, KPI Perspective, and Scorecard records store information about KPI Objective, KPI Perspective, and Scorecard families. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the KPI Objective, KPI Perspective, and the Scorecard families. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

The following families are not enabled for site filtering, which means that records in these families can be accessed by any user with the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer the Site Filtering section of the documentation.
