Configuring KPI Signals for an indicator

Activate KPI Signals for an indicator and set up signal detection and notifications. Assign responsibility for receiving and handling KPI Signals notifications for an indicator.

  • Activate KPI Signals monitoring for an indicator (KPI)
    KPI Signals does not monitor indicators by default. You activate monitoring for individual indicators. When you activate KPI Signals for an indicator, you make yourself a responsible user for that indicator.
  • Configure signal detection
    You can set the start date of the current baseline calculation, the number of scores used to calculate the baseline, and the trend method. You also can deactivate or reactivate KPI Signals monitoring for a KPI.
  • Configure responsibility for KPI Signals
    Besides security access, a user needs a level of responsibility to act on a signal. Responsibility is granted for individual indicator/breakdown element combinations (KPIs) that the KPI Signals application monitors.
  • Configure signal notifications
    As a responsible user, you receive email reminders about signals that have not been resolved. You can configure how frequently you get these reminders and the maximum number of reminders to get for a signal.
  • Configure signals for breakdown elements
    Configure signal detection and assign responsibility for multiple breakdowns and breakdown elements on one indicator.
  • KPI Signals automated detection jobs
    The KPI Signals application includes jobs that detect signals automatically. These jobs run so responsible users can be notified of new signals without opening the application. The job for signals on formula indicators requires scheduling.
  • Disabling KPI Signals
    KPI Signals can be disabled on request.
