How Are KPIs Evaluated?

A KPI's status and score are determined by comparing its actual value against the thresholds that you define.

The performance status of a KPI is represented by the status icon that you assign to each range.

For example, for a product sales KPI in which high values are desirable, you can define the ranges that are described in the table. Thresholds are the numeric values that separate the ranges.

Evaluation Range Rule	Threshold	Name	Status Icon
Values exceeding 125 (125 < x) indicate ideal performance	126 and above	Ideal	Blue square
Values between 100 and 125 (100 < x <= 125) indicate good performance	125	Good	Green square
Values between 80 and 100 (80 < x <= 100) indicate acceptable performance	100	Acceptable	Yellow square
Values between 50 and 80 (50 < x < = 80) indicate a warning of poor performance	80	Warning	Light red square
Values less than 50 (x <= 50) indicate critical performance	50 and below	Critical	Dark red square
