Best Practices for Editing and Updating KPI Sets

Take care when you edit or update your KPI Sets.

Take special care changing KPI Sets if you have used them in TIBCO Spotfire Metrics Mobile. It is better to create a new KPI Set if you are trying something out, rather than edit the original. Remember you can use the same query.

Do

  • Select, unselect Dimensions as Filters.
  • Add additional Dimensions as LOWER Levels.
  • Add additional Measures to your KPI Set as KPIs.
  • Change Threshold Steps values.
  • Edit a Variance definition by deleting the Threshold for the KPI in which the Variance definition is used.

Do Not

  • Remove Dimension columns.
  • Remove Measure columns.

Finally, create a Spotfire Metrics Feed to view your KPI Sets as you create them. They are very simple to create and allow you to view your KPIs as end users see them.
