What is the primary purpose of the kpi-text skill?

The kpi-text skill allows you to wrap numeric metrics in custom text strings (templates) to provide better context and readability on Drizzle Cube dashboards.

How do I insert the actual metric value into the text template?

You use the ${value} placeholder within the displayConfig.template string, which is then automatically replaced by the formatted metric from your query.

Can I format the number of decimals for currency or percentages?

Yes, you can specify the 'decimals' property in the displayConfig to control the precision of the value displayed in the template.

Can this skill be used for system alerts?

Absolutely. It is ideal for alerts; you can include emojis and warning text like '⚠️ 5 items low in stock' by combining the template property with filtered queries.

Is it possible to change the color of the displayed value?

Yes, the valueColorIndex property allows you to apply specific colors from your theme's palette to the dynamic part of the text.
