The final method is called Band by Stated Score (Advanced) and
calculates a number between any two values chosen. As an example, imagine that
the target is a calculation such as Sales Growth % from Prior Period and values of
more than 10% should be green, 10% to -10% should be yellow and less than -10%
should be red. All three methods are the same regardless of the scoring pattern used.
After selecting the scoring pattern and banding method, the next screen allows the
designer to choose the indicator to be used. By default, if only the wizard has been
used, there may be only the standard three position stoplight. It??™s possible to add
additional indicators, and this will be discussed momentarily.
The final screen in the Edit Banding Settings wizard asks for the Worst value to
be entered if the banding method is the normalized value (which is the default). This
is just a hard-coded value in the wizard, but can be made into a formula later in the
process. After clicking the Finish button from this page, the new indicator is created
and added to the Workspace Browser.
Back on the Sales Amount summary screen, the next column in the Actual and
Targets area is called Data Mappings. This is the area where both can be set to the
data element to which they are tied. While both Actual and Target can be a fixed
value, this makes little sense for the Actual. The Target is not a fixed value either,
although it could be when companies proclaim that they want to achieve a certain
percentage of gross margin or a certain maximum failure rate in quality control tests,
for example.
