How to Add Data to a Metric and Track KPIs in Enforcium

To track a metric’s actual result against a defined goal, first create a KPI for the metric.

For example, a company tracks the number of qualified leads:

Example
Metric
Qualified Leads
KPI
100 qualified leads per month
Current value
72

The metric shows the actual result. The KPI defines the value the team needs to achieve within a specific period.

Once the KPI is created, you can regularly update the actual data and track progress toward the defined goal in Enforcium.

1. Set a KPI for a metric

Start by selecting the metric you want to track and create a KPI for it.

For example:

Qualified Leads → Goal: 100 per month

The KPI will then appear in Key Performance Indicators.

2. Open the KPI and click Add data

Find the KPI you need and click Add data on the right side of the card.

The Add Data window will open. This is where you enter the current value of the related metric.

3. Enter the current value

Enter the actual metric result in the Metric value field.

You can also select the relevant attributes, when available, and add additional details or information.

Then select the date associated with the data and click Save Data.

For example, if the goal is 100 qualified leads per month and the team has received 72 so far, enter:

Metric value: 72

After saving, Enforcium updates the metric data and the progress of the related KPI.

4. Check progress toward the goal

The KPI card shows:

  • completion percentage
  • current Value
  • amount remaining (Left)
  • KPI status
  • deadline

For example:

Example
Goal
100
Value
72
Left
28
Progress
72%

This gives the team an immediate view of how the current result compares with the planned outcome.

5. Review entered data history

Each KPI has an Overview window with detailed information about its current state.

The Recent data section shows the history of entered values:

  • the value that was added
  • when it was added
  • who updated the data

This provides a record of how the metric has changed over time and who updated each value.

The same window also shows Responsible and Accountable, the Timeline, and related Tasks, Comments, and KPI decomposition.

6. Decompose a KPI

When a shared goal depends on results from several people, teams, or areas, you can decompose the KPI.

For example, a team needs to generate:

100 qualified leads per month

Five managers contribute to this result. The overall KPI can be distributed among them:

Manager 1 → 20 leads

Manager 2 → 20 leads

Manager 3 → 20 leads

Manager 4 → 20 leads

Manager 5 → 20 leads

This lets you track both the overall progress toward 100 leads and each manager’s individual result.

The distribution can follow different contribution levels. For example, one manager can be responsible for 30 leads, another for 20, and a new employee for 10.

The allocation depends on how the overall result is achieved within your company.

Decomposition connects the overall KPI with the individual results that contribute to it.

7. Create Tasks to achieve a KPI

When achieving a KPI requires specific work, you can connect that work to the KPI through Tasks.

For example, a company sets the following goal:

KPI: Generate 100 qualified leads per month

Different specialists can contribute through specific actions:

Example
Marketing
launch an advertising campaign
Design
prepare advertising creatives
Development
create or improve the landing page
Sales
process incoming leads

The KPI defines the result the team needs to achieve, while related Tasks describe the specific work that supports that result.

This is especially useful when several people or departments contribute to the same metric.

8. Leave comments

Each KPI includes Comments, where you can keep important context directly alongside the metric.

For example, if the number of new leads drops, the team can record the reason in a comment:

The advertising campaign was paused for three days while the landing page was being updated.

This keeps explanations and discussions connected to the KPI, making the context available when the result is reviewed.

How everything connects

Each element in Enforcium has a specific role:

Metric → shows what we measure.

KPI → defines the result we need to achieve.

Data → shows the actual result recorded.

Decompose → shows how the overall KPI is distributed and who is responsible for each contribution.

Tasks → define the work that supports the result.

Comments → keep context, explanations, and discussions about the result.

Together, these elements connect the goal, actual progress, ownership, and work that supports the result.

Important

Data added through Add data represents the actual value of the metric associated with the KPI.

The KPI defines the goal and timeframe. The data shows the actual result for the selected date.

As the result changes, you can update the data so Enforcium continues to show the current progress toward the goal.
