A Scorecard offers a visual representation of data or sales performance, enabling quick comprehension of the current status and facilitating prompt action. As an effective tool for problem identification and resolution, this topic describes the process of adding data to a Scorecard and customizing its styles.
Prerequisites
A dashboard has been created. For more information, see Create a dashboard.
Limits
A Scorecard is composed of Scorecard Tags/dimensions and Scorecard Metrics/measures:
Scorecard tags are defined by data dimensions. You can select a single dimension, such as region.
Scorecard metrics are based on data measures. You must choose at least one measure and can include up to 20 measures, such as order quantity and order amount.
Overview
Scenarios
Scorecards are commonly utilized to showcase one or more measures within a single dimension, particularly in scenarios that demand precise metric readings.
Advantages
Computing power: Easily configure advanced calculations for year-over-year and month-over-month comparisons.
Visualization: Enhance Scorecards with logos, and tailor backgrounds, font sizes, and colors to your preference.
Remarks: Incorporate custom text or metrics as notes and set up external hyperlinks to facilitate data interaction with other systems.
Example
