Adding column members is optional is often used to
add date values to the scorecard. For example, a company might choose to have the
scorecard show the actual and target values for the sales amount for the past three
years. The scorecard ends up having one column for each year, and those columns
are further subdivided into actual and target columns. Once this step of the wizard is
completed, the Finish button is ready to be clicked.
Clicking the Finish button shows a summary page of what has occurred, but the
bottom line is that the scorecard has been created. The new scorecard is incredibly
simple, assuming that no filters or column members were selected, and is shown
in Figure 5-9. This scorecard shows the KPI on the row and the Actual and Target
on the columns. The actual value is shown along with the target value and an
indicator of the KPIs health. In the Workspace Browser a number of new items
have been created including the scorecard, a KPI, and two items that appear under
the Indicators folder. In the Details pane, a number of folders now appear in the
Available Items window. Because this scorecard was created simply by clicking the
Finish button, the health indicator is set automatically along with the layout of the
entire scorecard view.
On the other hand, the developer could have chosen to set members for the
columns when building the scorecard view. The dimension chosen for the columns
is typically Time although this is not a requirement.
