Ability to provide Label for KPIs to display in operational dashboards

Currently KPI name is displayed in the charts (KPI Comparison, Safety Critical Backlog). But the KPI name is unique name given by the developer and it does not make sense for business users. There should be a way to specify caption for KPI at card level.

    This becomes an even larger issue when using KPI templates, which auto generate KPI names making them even more unusable.

    I have run into this issue as well since we auto-number our KPIs instead of trying to cram a meaningful name into 10 characters. Start Centers show the KPI description, but Operational Dashboards show the KPITEMPLATENUM instead. I'm not sure why we're going backwards in functionality sometimes!
