Creating KPI from Tasks Group

Over the built-in KPIs there is a possibility to create custom KPIs. One type of custom KPIs is a Task or Task Group based KPI. As Tasks as cost centers can be freely structured to map the business metrics, a KPI creation offers additional value to use Task related metrics in reports.

In JobCTRL you can add unique KPI to the KPI list, after that you can use it in the Performance Analysis and Performance Summary reports. This feature can be useful if you want to measure new data using a new operand.

First, you have to make task groups. If you are not familiar with task groups, click here for more information.

After making some, by entering the task groups ID you can create KPI operand for your KPI. Go to the “KPIs” menu section and scroll down until you arrive to the “Create KPI operands” function.

Note: You have to use “TaskGroupId_” and the ID for the technical name.


Come up with a proper name for your KPI, then add a short description to make it clear to everyone what this indicator is for. When you're done, assign it to the Group and save it.


Once the backup has been made, you can get your analysis using the new KPI in the reports menu.
