Use this gadget to list those rules in the current application that contain a warning message.

Warning messages in a rule suggest the rule is at variance with design guardrails or other best practices. While a warning condition does not indicate that the rules are invalid, or that they do not operate correctly, usually you would revise the rules to remove the variance. Revising the rules to remove warnings can improve performance, maintainability, user productivity, or usability.

• Create a new KPI to measure and track by clicking New.
• Work with the existing KPIs. XXX kowal: Add more details XXXX
