While the first
page of the wizard is similar to that for creating a new data source, notice that a series
of steps are listed down the left-hand side of this wizard. From the list, it is obvious
that there are a number of steps that must be performed in order to create a scorecard.
The first screen is simply asking for the name of the scorecard, an optional display
folder, and whether or not all authenticated users should be given access.
The second step in the wizard is selecting a data source. This page allows for
the use of data sources residing on either the workspace or the server. Recall that
a newly-created data source that has not yet been published exists only on the
Figure 5-7 The wizard for creating a new scorecard has the same fields as the data
source wizard, but it shows a series of steps down the left-hand side.

local machine, or workspace. Scorecard builders can choose to use local, not-yetpublished
data sources or those that already exist on the server. If a developer
goes straight into creating a scorecard, has no local data source, and no server data
sources show up, this means that the Refresh button was not clicked so the list of
server data sources was not retrieved.
The third page of the wizard is where the designer selects a KPI source. There
are only two options on this page: Create KPIs from SQL Server Analysis Services
Measures and Import SQL Server Analysis Services KPIs.
