After KPIs for measuring strategic objectives and critical success factors have been selected, these indicators and their relationships can be defined in more detail using the KPI tree model type.

A KPI tree arranges various KPIs in a hierarchy by means of the influences connection type. The Weighting attribute can be specified for these connections, thus enabling the calculation of an overall KPI within a KPI tree with the help of weights. The KPI tree is assigned to the KPI instance representing the overall KPI. This assignment is included in the Create BSC management view and Perform BSC planned-actual comparison evaluations.

The KPI tree uses the KPI instance object type only.

The KPI tree can be found at the requirements definition level of the data view.
