ArtfulBits KPI (Key Performance Indicator) column provides users with the ability to define and measure progress toward predefined goals and display current status by using easy-to-understand graphical indicators. Using of KPI provides with ability to visualize answers to the following questions:

- What am I ahead or behind on?
- How far ahead or behind am I?
- What is the minimum I have completed?

Components use Microsoft® MOSS® 2007 KPI idea, but with reworked functionality. Unlike MOSS 2007 KPI, ArfulBits KPI could be added to any custom list as a column, can use both List View and List Item as data source and supports different indicator icons: flags, traffic lights, shapes, marks and other.

You can use traffic light icons to indicate that predefined satisfaction is exceeding, meeting, or failing to meet goals. If predefined satisfaction exceeds a preset goal, the KPI is displayed with a green traffic light icon. If customer satisfaction is failing to meet minimum goals, the customer's satisfaction KPI is displayed with a red traffic light icon. Otherwise, it is displayed with a yellow traffic light icon.
