After selecting the appropriate scorecard
and finishing the wizard, the report displays in the main work area of Dashboard
Designer, but it is blank. The developer must click on the Edit Strategy Map button
on the Edit ribbon, which launches the Strategy Map Editor dialog box. This is also
initially blank, but clicking on the Open Visio File button will allow the developer
to choose a Visio file to use. Figure 5-32 shows the Visio file from the previous

figure loaded into the Strategy Map Editor. Note that it??™s possible to modify the
strategy map here. New shapes can be added, existing shapes removed, and so forth.
Note also that the Strategy Map Editor looks almost identical to full-blown Visio,
including the ability to open various stencils in order to access different shapes.
Once the strategy map is laid out as desired, the most important part of the dialog
is the Connect Shape button. First, the developer clicks on one of the shapes on the
diagram and then clicks the Connect Shape button. This opens a dialog box that
lists the KPIs on the scorecard that was chosen when the strategy map report was
being created. In this example, the rectangle inside the Objectives section of the
strategy map will be mapped to the KPI named Overall Gross Profit Margin, which
is actually an objective in the scorecard.
