# Configure visualization

Depending on the selected data structure, you need to map a few fields to configure the visualization.

### KPI Dimension (and parent KPI dimension)

For **Grid layout options 1 & 2**, map the relevant KPI dimension (e. g. 'Segment' if you want to create a card for each segment). If you want to create KPI cards for combinations of for example two dimensions (e. g. 'Segment' and 'Region'), create a calculated field first and concatenate the two fields (e. g. \[Segment]+" | "+\[Region]) and use this field as your KPI dimension.

For **Tree layout option 1,** additionally set the **parent KPI dimension**.

### KPI values

PowerKPIs can cope with different ways of storing different **scenarios**.&#x20;

When different scenarios (such as Actual, Budget, and Forecast) are stored in different columns (for example, in the Option 3 grid layout), **Measure Names** is the field that defines the scenarios.&#x20;

* Adjust the **KPI Card** label to group measures into one card.
* Adjust the **Measure Name** to show custom labels for your scenarios.
* Set the **Role BAN** to map scenarios to the main big number (Main), or to two optional comparison values (Comp 1 and Comp 2).
* Set the **Role Chart** to map scenarios to be used in the trend chart (Main and Comp 1).
* Additionally, an auto-generated **comparison to the previous value** is shown in most layouts.

If different scenarios are stored in a **dimension** (e.g. in Option 4 Grid Layout), this dimension in combination with Measure Names is the field that defines the scenarios.

You can also customize labels and define roles for each of these options.

* **Map the scenario field** to define the KPI values.
* **Bulk assign roles** to the scenario field values.&#x20;
* Adjust the **Scenario & Measure** to show custom labels for your scenarios.
