To assess your business performance, you must define
success via Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs), benchmark metrics against which current performance
can be measured.
OBIEE 11g allows you to define and customize KPIs, and to then integrate them into your dashboard. In this way you can assess current performance at a glance. Your KPI Watchlist can also be used to create analyses and agents that trigger based on certain threshold conditions and actions.
2. The KPI Entry screen will then appear. This screen enables you to define the actual value and target value measures for the KPI, as well as an optional time offset to show performance as a trend.
3. Then, you specify the dimensionality of the KPI,by for example making it analyzable by two levels in the store hierarchy, and two in the time hierarchy or
you want users to be able to switch the product category for which the KPI is displayed but you want the year, 2010, to stay constant (or "pinned"). To do this, click the Add button on the Dimensionality screen, select the "Times"."Year" attribute, and select 2010 for Value. Then click Add again to add the "Stores"."Product" attribute column, but leave Value as Not Pinned. Click Next to proceed to the next step in the process: defining the thresholds.
The values used for these dimensions can either be “pinned”,so that they stay static for this KPI, or
they can be dynamic, allowing the user to change them to vary their “point of view”. As well as using
regular “attribute” columns to define these dimensions, you can also use complete hierarchies in the
form of hierarchical columns from the semantic model presentation layer.
4. On the Thresholds screen, you can specify values that will determine whether the performance achieved warrants an OK, Warning, or Critical indication. In this example, performance will be considered OK if it is within 90 percent of the target and critical if it falls below 70 percent.
5. Click Next to proceed to the next step, where you can define related documents for the KPI. This enables users to reference other analyses, external Web pages to support the KPI. For this example, however, there are no related documents, so click Finish to move to the final steps, where you can name and save the KPI.
You can create more KPI in similar manner.

To create the KPIs, take the following steps:

Log in to Oracle Business Intelligence
Enterprise Edition 11g,
using your username and password. From the home page, select New -> KPI from the common header
area. When prompted to select a subject area, for example select any Sales/Revenue related.2. The KPI Entry screen will then appear. This screen enables you to define the actual value and target value measures for the KPI, as well as an optional time offset to show performance as a trend.

Displaying KPIs, Using a KPI Watchlist
Now that you have defined one or more KPIs, you can give users a
means of displaying these on a dashboard through a KPI watchlist. To create a KPI
watchlist, take the following steps:
1.
From the Oracle Business Intelligence home page,
select New
-> KPI Watchlist.
2.
From the Catalog view on the left-hand side of
the screen, drag and drop the KPIs you created previously onto the
watchlist on the right. The selected KPIs will then be displayed in a grid
format, showing the actual and target values, along with the variance and the
percentage variance.
