    • The Benchmarks dashboard shows KPI data, performance trends, and indicator scorecards.

    The Benchmarks KPI dashboard view displays all the KPIs and can be accessed through Service Portal.

    Features include:
    • Ability to show KPIs in either list or card view.
    • Downloadable reports of KPI list and all charts in PDF format.
    • Ability to filter data by type of industry, number of users, MSPs, or geographic region (the filter is retained when switching between KPI view and trend view).
      Note:
      Only Managed Service Providers (MSP) can view the global MSP aggregate score data.
    • Color-coded KPI data (the favorable comparison results for your instance are in green, while red favors global data).
    • Monthly change percentage calculation of your instance from the previous month.
    • Ability to view six months of historical KPI data.
    • Ability to display time values in hours or days (using the sn_bm_client.dashboard_display_unit system property).
    Note:
    Service Portal must be installed to view the Benchmarks dashboard.

    Percentile rank

    The exact standing of the KPI for your company within your participating peer group is indicated by percentile rank. A KPI percentile rank of 90% indicates that your instance standing for that KPI is greater than 90% of the instances participating in that group.

    Note:
    A high percentile rank does not always indicate a desirable result.

    For certain KPIs a higher ranking is preferred (% of incidents resolved using KB articles), but for others it is not (% of emergency changes). The meaning of your percentile ranking should be interpreted based on the direction of the KPI being analyzed.
