After you have made changes to the KPI model, you need to save them and publish the model. When you save the model, the changes are applied only in ELMA Designer. To make the model and the changes available in Web Application, you must publish it.
Attention!
Only the published version of the KPI model is available in Web Application.
There are two ways to publish the KPI model :
Click the Save button in the KPI tab of ELMA Designer, then click Publish as the button expands (fig. 1);

Click Publish in the KPI portlet of the Publishing tab (fig. 2).

After you click the Publish button, a dialogue box opens. It shows the number of the published KPI model version (fig. 3). In the Comment field, you can describe the new version (for example, list the changes that you have made). The contents of this field are shown in the Comments field of the Version History section (fig. 4).

KPI portlet
The Publishing tab of ELMA Designer features, amongst others, the KPI portlet (fig. 5) that shows information about the publication of the KPI model and about the latest changes introduced to the model.
If there are any unpublished changes in the KPI model, there will be a warning in red saying The KPI Model is changed. You will also see the Publish button, which you can click to publish the model.

If there are no unpublished changes in the KPI model, you will see The KPI model is published (version: <version number>) written in green (fig. 6).

Modified by – the user who introduced the latest modifications (only for a KPI model with unpublished changes).
