Dashboard Home
No matter where you are in Visual KPI, you always return to your dashboard by clicking the Dashboard on the main menu. Your Dashboard shows your most important KPIs, and you can customize it.
Groups and Objects
Visual KPI is organized using Groups and Objects. Objects can be KPIs, Charts or Tables. You can have objects at any level, or in any group.
Groups
Groups are what you use to organize your KPIs. Think of groups like folders in Microsoft Windows. You can have as many folders as you want, and you can have folders within folders. There is no limit to the number of folders and levels of folders you can have.
Click the Groups tab ( ) in the navigation bar to see your groups.
Click any group in the group list to see subgroups, KPIs, Charts or Tables within the group.

KPIs
KPIs can be found by clicking the KPIs tab ( ) in the navigation bar or by drilling down into groups. By default, KPIs are listed alphabetically.
You can change the sort order by clicking any of the headers that have the sort icon ().
