The recommended business intelligence tool for displaying KPI dashboards with a "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) design environment on an Apple iPad is SAP Lumira, designer edition. This edition is specifically designed to facilitate the creation of interactive visualizations and dashboards that can effectively engage users, allowing them to design and format reports intuitively.

SAP Lumira, designer edition provides a user-friendly interface that supports a drag-and-drop approach, making it easier for users to create custom dashboards and data visualizations. The WYSIWYG environment means that users can see how their dashboards will look as they are creating them, enhancing the design experience and making it more efficient.

While other tools like SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise, SAP Lumira, discovery edition, and SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence have their own strengths and use cases, they do not offer the same level of tailored dashboard design capabilities or seamless iPad compatibility required for an optimal WYSIWYG experience. Crystal Reports is traditionally more focused on formatted reporting rather than interactive dashboards, whereas the discovery edition is more oriented towards data discovery and visualization. Similarly, Web Intelligence is utilized for ad-hoc reporting and analysis but lacks the dedicated design environment that Lumira, designer edition provides.
