Organize your teams into assignment groups and create reports for those groups so that you can gain visibility into the team's performance.

As an administrator, you can configure KPIs as well as child KPIs. The child KPIs appear when you drill-down into top level KPIs. For example, Closed Cases KPI has P1 Cases, P2 Cases as child KPIs.
