When viewing a scorecard, scorecard columns appear along the right side of each container. These columns display current data for indicators and / or performance measures.
These columns are configured when creating the scorecard. There are nine columns to choose from, and up to six columns can be displayed at a time, though typically you’ll only need two to four.
The following columns are available:
- Time Period: The time period for the corresponding data.
- Prior Actual Value: The actual value from the time period prior to the current one.
- Current Actual Value: The measured value for the current period.
- Current Target Value: The desired value for the current period.
- Variance from Target: The magnitude of variance between the current actual value and the current target value. ([Actual Value] - [Target Value]) / [Target Value].
- Percent of Target: Percent difference between current actual value and the current target value. (Actual Value / Target Value) *100.
- Next Target Value: The desired value for the upcoming time period.
- Forecast Value: The forecasted value for the upcoming time period.
- Current Trend: The current trend of actual values. A green arrow indicates a good direction; a red arrow indicates a bad direction, depending on the polarity of the measure. The number next to the arrow indicates how many periods comprise the current trend.
- Baseline % Change: The percent change of the actual value from the baseline value. [(Current Actual Value - First Entered Actual Value)/First Entered Actual Value].
A green arrow represents a good direction; a red arrow indicates a bad direction, depending on the polarity of the measure.
