The tables on this page can help you understand the types of fields you’ll find in Visual KPI Designer, as well as any limits that apply to each field.
Visual KPI Designer has four types of fields:
- Text (alphanumeric characters)
- Numbers (integers only)
- List Selection
- Automatically Assigned
For Text fields, the Limit column displays the maximum number of characters. For List Selection fields, the Limit column displays the list from which a selection is made. For Numbers and Automatically Assigned field types, the Limit column is empty.
