KPIs
KPI's that have been added to the VDT will automatically be shown here and cannot be removed from this view; additional KPI's can be added by clicking the +Add KPI button on the top right. To remove a KPI from the idea, click on the Trash icon.
The date used to generate the KPI Chart above is determined as follows:
- The system will use the Implementing Stage Revised Date if specified.
- If the Revised date is not specified for the Implementing Stage, the Target Date will be used.
- Otherwise, if there are no Implementing Stage Target and Revised Dates specified, the chart will be generated from the date when the Idea was created.
The Up to Date status of the KPI is determined as follows:
- The KPI status is updated every time KPI values are uploaded or updated based on the selected performance period. i.e. if a KPI has values uploaded for its performance period, it will be Up To Date underwise it will not be Up To date.
Clicking the curved arrow at the top right of the KPI widget will navigate to that KPI in the KPI module.
