Scorecard developers can change the weighting of different
KPIs by right-clicking on the name column of a particular KPI in the scorecard
and then choosing Properties. This opens the KPI View Settings dialog box and
the first option is the Score Rollup Weight, as shown in Figure 5-20. Assume that
management has decided to focus mostly on Internet sales and downplay the reseller
channel. Therefore, they want the Internet Gross Profit Margin to carry five times
more weight than the Reseller Gross Profit Margin KPI when the score is being
determined. Changing the score rollup weight from one to five while leaving the
reseller score at one now results in the score for the objective moving from 39.6% to
60.8%, as can be seen in the background of Figure 5-20.
Figure 5-19 An objective is a KPI that has child KPIs. The objective is created by using the
Decrease Level button on the child KPIs.

Aggregations and Trends
Recall that one of the benefits of KPIs over measures is that they can contain a
trend. So far when dealing with KPIs, no trend has been apparent. When dealing
with scorecards, there is a category in the Details pane called Aggregations, and this
is useful for not just trends, but also for adding sums, averages, and so forth to the
scorecard.
Figure 5-21 shows a simple scorecard with a single KPI, Sales. This uses the same
Sales Amount used in other examples, and the target has been set to Sales Amount
Quota.
