# KPIs
Critical performance indicators that make objectives measurable
To make objectives measurable and be able to monitor the organization's performance, KPIs are established.
An organization sets short- and long-term objectives. KPIs make the progress of these objectives measurable and are used to monitor whether the organization's performance is in line with the objectives. An example of a KPI is: conduct at least one management review of the business management system annually.
## KPI overview screen
In the KPI overview, the user can filter in several ways:
* search by description and ID
* search for KPIs that are open for evaluation (recognizable by the red exclamation mark)
* search for recent results
* filter by one or more objectives
## Create new KPI
When creating a KPI, the user gives the KPI a number, name, description, and any remarks.
Next, the KPI evaluation interval is selected: annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly.
After that, the user enters the scoring values. Think of completed, planned or not completed, or percentages. A color can be chosen for each value.
{% hint style="info" %}
If nothing is entered for a value and the KPI is saved, that value will no longer be visible. Only in edit mode are all possible scoring values shown.
{% endhint %}
## Linking KPI, objectives and roles
KPIs are linked to objectives because they make progress toward them measurable. Objectives can be linked from a KPI, and vice versa. In addition, roles can be linked to a KPI, so it is clear who is responsible for monitoring the KPI.
## A completed KPI
If you click through to a created KPI, you can easily edit or delete it. In addition, you can clearly see which links have been made with the relevant KPI. New linked fields can be added via the yellow plus at the bottom right of the screen.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.controlbee.nl/en/plannen/kpis.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
