Targets

Targets are typically used for Budgets and Forecasts, and tied to specific metrics. You may add more than one target to your workspace.

Set up targets

Prepare your targets data

You can set up targets by registering a target table from your database. Steep will read targets from this table and match them to the corresponding metrics by name. The target table needs to follow a certain format for it to work.

Target table format

The target table needs to match the format above to be read correctly. Each row in the table corresponds to a target data point for a specific metric.

The series name can be used to set up parallell target series, e.g. ”Budget”, ”Budget v2”, ”Stretch goals”, that users can switch between.

The metric identifier is used to specify the metric and corresponds to a lower-case-and-hyphens version of the metric name, e.g. a metric named ”Organic Regs” has the identifier ”organic-regs”.

Registering the table

Start by going to Settings / Targets

Pick a table with the format described above.

Add targets to dashboard widgets

Once you have your targets table registered you can choose to add your target to a widget on your Dashboard. Learn how to add a Target to a dashboard widget.
