  KPI Designer is a component of the BW-BEX Business Explorer that allows users to create and manage Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPIs are metrics used to measure the performance of an organization or process. KPI Designer allows users to define, visualize, and analyze KPIs in order to gain insights into their business performance. 
  
  How to use it: 
  KPI Designer can be used to create and manage KPIs. To create a KPI, users must first define the metric they want to measure. This can be done by selecting a data source, such as a database table or an InfoCube, and then selecting the fields that will be used in the KPI. Once the metric has been defined, users can then customize the visualization of the KPI by selecting from a variety of chart types. Finally, users can analyze their KPIs by setting thresholds and comparing them against other KPIs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a KPI, it is important to select the right data source and fields in order to ensure that the KPI accurately reflects the performance of the organization or process being measured. Additionally, it is important to select an appropriate visualization type for the KPI in order to make it easier for users to interpret and understand.
