KPI Properties
Information used to describe a KPI: Name, Description, Unit of Measure, Associated Field, Aggregation Type, and Dimensions.
Name
Name of the KPI
Note:
KPI names must be unique on a given Optimize server. Designer cannot, at design time, detect all the KPI names and dimension labels on the target server. However, if you duplicate a KPI name or dimension label in a process, generation of the process produces a warning.
Description
Description of the KPI.
Unit of Measure
How the KPI is measured.
Associated Field
Associate the KPI with actual fields in the process. Only fields that are available in the output of the step can be used.
Note:
When you associate an output field with a KPI or a dimension, Designer automatically adds the field to the Logged Fields page in the Properties view. Designer does not, however, automatically remove an output field from the Logged Fields page in the Properties view if you remove it from a KPI or dimension.
Aggregation Type
Aggregation type can be set to SUM, AVERAGE, or LAST VALUE.
Dimensions
Name of the KPI.
Note:
KPI names must be unique on a given Optimize server. Designer cannot, at design time, detect all the KPI names and dimension labels on the target server. However, if you duplicate a KPI name or dimension label in a process, generation of the process produces a warning.
