KPI Tile

KPI Tiles provide at-a-glance visibility into critical business measures using labels, colors, and formatting to track performance.

A KPI Tile is a compact visualization designed to display a single key metric such as a sum, average, or aggregated value. KPI Tiles are widely used in dashboards, scorecards, and performance monitoring systems to track ongoing evaluation of business-critical measures. By using labels, colors, and formatting options, KPI Tiles provide at-a-glance visibility into Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

When to Use a KPI Tile

Use a KPI Tile when you want to:

  • Present a single high-level number (e.g., revenue, expenses, conversion rate).

  • Track real-time KPIs in operational dashboards.

  • Display progress against targets in a concise, visual format.

  • Summarize data for executives who need quick decision-making insights.

Examples:

  • Sum of Monthly Sales in INR.

  • Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) is displayed as a percentage.

  • Active Users count for a digital platform.

Best Practices

  • Use consistent label naming across KPIs in a dashboard for clarity.

  • Apply currency and precision formatting that matches the business context (e.g., financial KPIs in Rupees with 2 decimal places).

  • Keep KPI Tiles minimalist—focus on the most critical value rather than cluttering with details.

  • Use color coding (green for good, red for poor performance) for intuitive interpretation.
