A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) visualization is a visual representation of a performance indicator, that is a main data point in a dashboard. You can visualize the total value of a metric or how a metric, such as profit or revenue, trends over time. A KPI visualization may contain one or more attributes and at least one metric. Not all visualizations in dashboards support Insights. Currently, only basic KPI visualizations are supported by Insights. See Create a KPI Visualization for more information. In addition, KPIs with break-by attributes are not supported.
