The status of the KPI is identified when you see the status icon and compare it to the legend (if it exists) to know whether the KPI is below, within or above limits.
The position of the KPI value with respect to its defined limits is part of the information provided to you. By placing the cursor on the status icon, a ToolTip shows the value of the KPI and its position relative to the values of the KPI lower and upper limits. If no upper or lower values are defined for the KPI, their values will not appear in the ToolTip information. If no values are defined for both the upper or lower limits, the ToolTip does not appear, and an N/A (not available) indicator shows up instead of the status icon.
