# Scorecard Columns

When [viewing a scorecard](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/2023-viewing-a-scorecard?hsLang=en), scorecard columns appear along the right side of each [container](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/2023-adding-a-new-container-to-a-scorecard?hsLang=en). These columns display current data for indicators and / or performance measures.

These columns are configured when [creating the scorecard](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/2023-creating-a-scorecard?hsLang=en). There are 11 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.
- **Custom Column:** Will appear if [enabled by your admin](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/2023-general-settings?hsLang=en)
- **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.
