What is the first step in setting up a KPI meter?

The first step in setting up a KPI meter involves accessing the functionality through its designated portlet interface. By clicking the drop-down menu in the KPI portlet, a user begins the process of configuring which Key Performance Indicator (KPI) will be displayed. This action is crucial as it allows the user to choose from available KPIs, establishing the foundation for creating the meter on the dashboard.

Each of the subsequent actions, such as selecting a specific KPI, enabling features from settings, or defining date ranges, builds upon this initial choice. Therefore, engaging with the KPI portlet drop-down directly facilitates the entire setup process, making it the appropriate first step.
