Add KBI Mapping dialog box in Actual KBI Mappings

Unifocus software processes KBI data that is configured in both external systems and in RMS. Use the Actual KBI Mapping screen to map KBI data collected from reports in external systems to relevant KBIs that are already configured in RMS. The Add KBI Mapping dialog box appears when you select Add KBI () on the Actual KBI Mapping screen.

Fields on the Add KBI Mapping dialog box

Field Description Notes
Configure Mapping section

Type

Type of KBI that you want to map. Selecting a type from this drop-down list filters the Unmapped KBI drop-down list to show KBIs matching the selected type. Options include:

  • All—Includes all KBIs.

  • Calculated—Created using algebraic formulas and existing KBIs to calculate a value.

  • Input—Define factors that are not forecast by Labor but need to be available for use in calculated or statistical KBIs. Input KBIs are not dependent upon, or related to, any other KBIs.

  • Percent of Base—Calculated based on the relationship between itself and another KBI.

  • Statistical—Use statistical (regression) formulas to forecast future business volumes by analyzing historical information.

Default: All
