So I'm making a web app for tracking various data for a bakery. Initially I want to track 3 different key performance indicators:
- Baguettes sold per day
- Complaints per day
- Tips per day
However, I want to make an extensible system so rather than hard-code this I am looking to make a table where I can store my different KPIs. I have a table where I am defining my key performance indicators for the bakery, including fields such as:
- KPI name e.g. "baguettes sold"
- KPI unit e.g. "units" (for baguettes sold), "USD" (for "tips per day")
- KPI...order?
This last field has me a bit confused - I want to basically describe if the KPI should be a high value (the more baguettes sold per day, the better) or a low value (the fewer complaints per day, the better).
Is there a terminology for such a thing, or an accepted best practice of how to define and store such a value? Thanks!
