Scorecards

A scorecard is a collection of performance metrics that are designed to reflect the strategic goals of your business unit or organization.

The information in a scorecard identifies how well the objectives are being met by comparing planned to actual results. Scorecards can also show information for the different organizations in your business. By using visual status indicators such as traffic light, and trend icons, scorecards can help users to quickly evaluate performance.
