Term
Definition
KPI scope
The range or extent of values to check for a KPI visualization or threshold. The scope states
the following information for each dimension in the model:
● Granularity – a hierarchy level.
● A filter – a subset of dimension members, for example France, 2015.
KPI threshold
One or more static values to which to compare each cell of the scope. For example:
● < 10%
● < 5 FTE, < 15 FTE
● < $100, $100 - $200, >$200
Multiple thresholds can be defined for a KPI, for example, defining OK, Warning, and Critical
levels for the underlying account.
KPI threshold
interval
The range of values between successive KPI thresholds.

data region; a combination of entity, time, and version, for example.
