14.2. Key Point Indicators (KPIs)

In the KPIs section of this module, users can define key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the performance of their data sources.

*These KPIs rely on the selected data source(s) to calculate and display performance metrics, which can then be used to monitor and improve performance. Users can customize the KPIs to track specific metrics and create visual reports and dashboards using controls such as maps, charts, and graphs.
