Why use a User name in a KPI
User Select is a field type in the form builder that allows for selecting and forwarding a task to a specific person during the form fill-out. By using this value in a KPI, you can create User name labels that can be displayed in an Open Task, KPI dashboard, Results Overview and PDF Report.
Take note
- KPIs can be created in the form builder or by using the KPI node in the workflow builder.
- Only members of your organization can be selected.
