The Briqlab KPI Pulse is a free Power BI custom visual for analysts building dashboards where metric status needs to be felt immediately — not calculated. While a standard KPI card shows a number and a KPI sparkline shows a trend, the KPI Pulse shows health. A pulse-style animation signals whether the metric is active and on-track, drifting into warning territory, or in a critical state — the way a heartbeat monitor communicates patient status to a nurse from across a room.
• Pulse animation — speed and colour respond dynamically to metric distance from target
• Three-state status system — healthy, warning, and critical with configurable thresholds
• Directional trend arrow — up, down, or flat indicator with positive/negative colour logic
• Integrated sparkline — historical trend line embedded inside the tile without a separate visual
• Automated colour-coding — green, amber, and red driven by configurable threshold rules
• Target value display — fixed or dynamic measure with variance shown beneath the current value
• Supports currency, percentage, and custom number formats with prefix/suffix control
• Dark and light theme compatible with no extra setup
• Operations centre monitoring — system health, uptime, and error rate status on wall displays
• Intraday sales tracking — hourly deal velocity vs daily run rate with warning-state pulse
• Executive morning briefing — six-tile status dashboard scannable in under ten seconds
• Customer success health scoring — account health status across a portfolio with at-a-glance triage
• Logistics and supply chain — order fulfilment rate and delivery SLA status in real time
