Applies to: Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007
This topic provides a roadmap of all the steps that you must complete to build a scorecard in PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer. A scorecard is a high-level snapshot of organizational performance. Scorecards display a collection of key performance indicators (KPIs) and the performance targets for those KPIs. Typically, a designer creates an upper-level group of objectives that represent the various performance goals in an organization, and then populate those objectives with other KPIs that represent the sub-objectives within each group. Important Objectives represent top-level organizational goals. On a scorecard, objectives appear at the top level of a KPI hierarchy. In a typical scorecard, objectives show cumulative performance indicators that roll up the scores of lower-level KPIs. Scorecards are as varied as the organizations they represent. A retail business might measure performance by reporting sales volume, for example, and a city government might track the number of citizens who attend community meetings. Build a scorecardDecide what the scorecard should doA scorecard can present an overview of organizational strategy and provide valuable information about the progress the organization makes toward the goals in that strategy.
Add scorecard elementsThe elements of a scorecard work together to provide accurate performance measurements. Accurate measurements require good data, measurable goals, and clear ways to show outcomes.
Configure and publish the scorecard elementsYou can customize a scorecard by configuring the elements to match your requirements. After you configure the scorecard elements, you must publish them to PerformancePoint Monitoring Server to make them available to all users who have the appropriate permissions.
Add the scorecard to a dashboard and then deploy the dashboardAfter you create a scorecard you can use Dashboard Designer to add the scorecard to a dashboard. A dashboard is a collection of scorecard and report elements that are arranged in a layout for publication on Windows SharePoint Services or Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS). Note You must publish the scorecard and its elements to Monitoring Server before you can add the scorecard to a dashboard. You can link the scorecard elements that you include on a dashboard to other elements on the dashboard. For example, if your scorecard contains a KPI that uses a SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services data source, you can link the dimensional measures that the KPI represents to an analytic report that provides more detailed information. Alternatively, you can link scorecard elements to a strategy map that depicts the organization's overall strategy. You deploy the finished dashboard by exporting it to Windows SharePoint Services or to a Microsoft Office SharePoint site. Before you do so however, we recommend that you deploy the dashboard to a preview site where you can view the dashboard and make any last-minute corrections or adjustments before you deploy the dashboard to users. When you preview the dashboard, make sure that it contains all the reports, scorecards, and charts that you want users to view in the dashboard.
