KPI Monitoring Dashboard

Operations teams tracked dozens of time-sensitive records in kintone, but native views didn't surface deadline urgency clearly. Records with approaching deadlines looked identical to those with months remaining. Additionally, some records needed to be paused without changing their status — but the only option was a workaround that made status metrics unreliable.

The dashboard had to stay accurate as kintone record counts grew past the 500-record per-request API limit. The pause mechanism had to be additive — no changes to the existing status field logic — and the UI had to be readable for daily operational use without training.

• kintone API limit of 500 records per request required cursor-based pagination
• Pause flag had to be independent of the status field to avoid breaking existing workflow rules
• Days-remaining calculation needed to handle null deadline dates without crashing the sort
• Dashboard refresh needed to feel fast for daily operator use

All records were fetched server-side using cursor-based pagination, then derived fields — days remaining, pause status, urgency tier — were computed in the server layer before sending results to the client. The UI rendered a sortable, filterable table with color-coded urgency tiers and a one-click pause toggle.

• Cursor loop fetches until all records are returned — no silent truncation at 500
• Days-remaining computed server-side from deadline date; null deadlines sorted to the bottom
• Pause flag stored as a separate kintone field — status flow process management remains unchanged
• Urgency tier (overdue / this week / this month / later) drives row color coding for fast visual scan

The pause flag was the most consequential UX decision. Operations staff needed to mark records as intentionally on-hold — waiting for a response, pending paperwork, or actively managed — without triggering the next status in the workflow. Overloading the status field would have broken the existing kintone process management rules.

• Separate boolean field added to the kintone form as the stay flag
• Paused records are filtered out of the default urgency view but visible in a separate On Hold tab
• KPI calculations exclude paused records from overdue counts — holds don't inflate the miss rate
• One-click toggle in the dashboard writes back to kintone via the REST API without a page reload

Operations teams could triage their daily record queue by urgency without reading every deadline date individually. The pause flag gave a clean way to mark holds without corrupting status metrics. The dashboard became the primary morning check-in surface — opening kintone directly for urgency triage was no longer the default path.
