      Explanation of Performance Measure Parameters

      For a more complete summary of each property check out the Performance Measure support page.

      • calculationType [int]* - The ID of the calculation type for the Performance Measure. See table below. (available on create only)
      • calendarID [int]* - The ID of the reporting frequency (calendar) for this measure. See table below for default calendars. If a custom calendar is being used you will need to run a report to export the correct Calendar ID's using the custom reporting module. (available on create only)
      • colorBands [bool]* - Whether or not to enable color bands for this Performance Measure.
      • dataSource [string] - A string of text that defines where the data for this Performance Measure comes from. (i.e. CDC Monthly Report).
      • isBestPractice [bool]* - Whether or not to share this Performance Measure in the best practices library. For most newly created Performance Measures this should be false.
      • polarityType [int]* - The ID of the polarity type for the Performance Measure. See table below.
      • primaryTag[string] - String between 1-15 characters. This is the Clear Impact Scorecard tag used for categorizing this object. You can enter a tag that already exists to be linked or enter a new tag that does not exist and it will be created.
      • scale [int]* - A value between 0-6 that denotes how many decimals this Performance Measure will display.
      • title [string]* - The name of the Performance Measure
      • unitOfMeasure [string] - The unit of measure for this Performance Measure such as $, %, or #.
      • uoMisPrefix [bool]* - Whether or not the unit of measure should be displayed before or after the numerical value for this Performance Measure. For Example, true will place a dollar symbol before the number while false will place a % symbol after the number.
      • programID [int] (optional - parent value) - When retrieving a list of Performance Measures you can pass in the ID of a Program to retrieve just a list of Performance Measures that are related to that Program.

      Optional Graph Settings

      • graphType [short] - Determines the type of graph for the measure.  1 for line chart and 2 for bar chart.
      • graphComparison [boolean] - Whether to default the graph presentation to comparison mode or not.  Default is false.
      • displayTargetValues [boolean] - Determines whether target values display on the graph by default.  Default is true.
      • displayDataLabels [boolean] - Determines whether data labels display on the graph by default.  Default is true.
      • displayForecastValues [boolean] - Determines whether forecast values display on the graph by default.  Default is true.
