Headlines vs. KPIs

note

IT Visibility is being upgraded with the introduction of Technology Intelligence Platform beginning in September 2024. Flexera will contact you directly regarding the timeframe of your upgrade. With Technology Intelligence Platform, out-of-the-box IT Visibility dashboards are being replaced with new, enhanced IT Visibility Technology Intelligence Platform reports. For more information, see IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform Reports.

Your current custom and out-of-the-box dashboards will remain available for 6 weeks after your organization has been upgraded to Technology Intelligence Platform. During this time frame, you will be able to recreate your custom views in the new reporting capability. At the end of this time frame, access to all previous IT Visibility dashboarding capabilities will be removed.

On KPI Dashboards, you can also use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to display a single number or compare two numbers. KPIs are similar to headline insights, however, there are some differences:

  • KPIs display only measures and calculated measures. Headlines can also display attributes.

  • On KPI Dashboards, KPIs can have alerts that notify you about reaching a certain limit. Headlines do not support alerts.

Use Headline insights to compare measures and attributes to the same period of the previous year.
