Performance Dashboard Components


Performance Dashboards primarily consist of two main entities. These entities are metrics/key performance indicators (KPI) and dimensions.

When we are referring to metrics, we mean direct numerical measures that represent a piece of business data in the relationship of one or more dimensions. For example a metric can be "total profit per month." The measurement in this case would be in dollars (total profit), and the dimension would be time (month). Key performance indicators are similar, because they are simply a metric tied to a goal. For instance, if the metric was "total profit per month," and we have set goals at $10,000 dollars per month, our key performance indicators can tell us if we are on pace to achieving our goals, ahead of our goals, or falling behind.

Dimensions break down data into groups. Each group will generate a unique metric or KPI accordingly. In the above example, the month dimension will generate one aggregated metric number per month.
