          - kpi: GEN_Total_Rev_FY
            color: BLUE_40
          - kpi: GEN_pipe_to_be_closed
            color: GRAY_20
            subparts:
              - kpi: GEN_expected_closing_FY
                color: BLUE_20
              - kpi: GEN_ACV_Gap

  orientation: horizontal
  positionLines:
    - value: 20
      color: RED_10
      style: solid
      label: true
      title: Q1 Target
    - kpi: GEN_Quota
      color: RED_10
      style: solid
      label: true
      title: FY Target
  kpis:
    - kpi: GEN_Quota
      color: GRAY_20
      subparts:
        - kpi: GEN_Total_Rev_FY
          color: BLUE_20
        - kpi: GEN_expected_closing_FY
