In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing key performance indicator (KPI) customization in an analytic applications environment, which enables data analytics within the context of an organization's enterprise software application or data environment, or a software-as-a-service or other type of cloud or computing environment. The system supports customization derived from multiple layers which, in aggregate, can yield a customized performance metric or KPI object. In accordance with an embodiment, the system supports a user interface with icons that describe original (e.g., out-of-the-box or factory) KPIs and user-modified KPIs. When a user modifies an original KPI object to create a customized KPI, its icon is changed to visibly indicate that the user has modified the KPI. The customized KPI can be used within KPI decks, cards, dashboards, or other types of visualizations; while retaining a lineage to the original KPI object.

System and method for providing a user interface for KPI customization in an analytic applications environment

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing key performance indicator (KPI) customization in an analytic applications environment, which enables data analytics within the context of an organization's enterprise software application or data environment, or a software-as-a-service or other type of cloud or computing environment. The system supports customization derived from multiple layers which, in aggregate, can yield a customized performance metric or KPI object. In accordance with an embodiment, the system enables creation of a customized KPI, by layering variations of the KPI information on an original (e.g., out-of-the-box or factory) KPI object which are merged at runtime to create the final customized KPI. Each delta-KPI can itself also support multiple, e.g., site/user levels/layers. The approach can be used to provide extensibility for user interface decks/dashboards on which KPI visualization objects, such as decks, cards, dashboards, or other types of visualizations, appear.

System and method for providing layered KPI customization in an analytic applications environment

Described herein are techniques for identifying highly relevant content for a user to view in the form of KPI cards and providing the relevant view to the user automatically or by suggestion. The KPIs of highest practical and statistical significance are provided when the user accesses the user interface. In some embodiments, when the user is viewing a KPI, other relevant KPIs may be provided for the user to view as suggestions. Further, in some embodiments, the user may be provided with the KPIs of significance based on anomaly detection, and the explanation for the anomaly as well as suggestions for remedying any issues may be provided to the user. The highly informational content can be surfaced through the use of the advanced machine learning algorithms described herein.
