# KPI/Metric

> KPIs *(Key Performance Indicators)* are for quantitative measures of business performance, product usage, or user sentiment.

## What is a KPI Card?

Use the KPI card type to track business or product metrics that remain relevant over extended periods of time *(they are persistent)*.

Popular terms used to communicate this concept:

* Key Performance Indicator – KPI **(Vistaly Default)**
* Business Metric
* Health Metric

<Tip>
  You can use the [Vistaly API](/documentation/integrations/vistaly-api) to sync your KPI cards your CRM, BI and product analytics tools, or spreadsheets. This way your workspace always has live, accurate data.

### KPI Thresholds and Statuses

You can set upper and lower thresholds for your KPIs to define acceptable performance ranges. This helps in identifying when a KPI is performing well or when it requires attention.

For example, if you wanted to be alerted when something like "conversion rate" dips below a given percentage, you could set a lower threshold for that KPI.

| **Stage**         | Commitment                    | Description                                                                                                   |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **In Bounds**     | Within acceptable parameters  | The KPI measurement is currently within the defined threshold range, indicating healthy performance.          |
| **Out of Bounds** | Outside acceptable parameters | The KPI measurement has crossed a defined threshold boundary, requiring attention and potential intervention. |
