Tired of stacking indicator widgets? There's a better way.
If you've ever found yourself stacking indicator widget after indicator widget just to show a handful of KPIs, you're not alone. It's a common dashboard design (and performance) frustration, and it's exactly what the KPI Card from QBeeQ was built to solve.
What is the KPI Card?
The KPI Card is a free, partner-supported plugin from QBeeQ that provides an alternative to the native indicator widget, but with a lot more flexibility. Where Sisense's built-in indicator is limited to one primary and one secondary metric, the KPI Card lets you consolidate multiple metrics, trend indicators, and time-series sparklines into a single compact widget. The result is cleaner dashboards, less cognitive overload, and more context for your end users without adding more widgets.
What it can do
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Multiple Metrics | Display primary and secondary values together in one widget |
| Trend Indicators | Up/down icons with conditional color formatting to show direction at a glance |
| Sparklines | Embed mini line, area, or bar charts directly in the widget — no separate chart needed |
| Tooltips | Hover over any sparkline point to surface deeper data instantly |
| Click-to-Filter | Click a data point or drag a range to filter your entire dashboard |
| Jump-to-Dashboard | Link directly to a related dashboard from a primary value or sparkline data point |
| Full Color Customization | Match your dashboard's branding with per-value color control and conditional formatting |
A few use cases where it shines
- Sales & revenue tracking — Show revenue, growth %, and a monthly trend sparkline in one card
- Operations dashboards — Monitor multiple performance metrics side-by-side without the clutter
- Finance reporting — Surface current period values alongside prior period comparisons and directional trends
- Embedded analytics — Give end users more context in less space, especially in tighter dashboard layouts
Before and after
- The top row uses the native Sisense indicator chart and displays the primary and secondary metrics.
- The bottom row uses the KPI Card to show the same metrics, plus additional context using sparklines, trend metrics, trend icons, and Jump to Dashboard
