Dashboards??”Putting it All Together
Remember that the tool used throughout this chapter is the Dashboard Designer,
not the Scorecard Designer. The reason for this is that scorecards are one of several
possible elements that can be placed on a dashboard, and it is the dashboard that is
ultimately viewable by end users. The reason the dashboard is the element visible to
end users is because a single dashboard might contain multiple scorecards, reports,
strategy maps, or any combination of these elements. Additionally, a dashboard
might host a variety of scorecards and reports but have a single set of parameters that
the user can change to modify all of the elements on the dashboard at once.
Take as an example the Product dimension. If all scorecards and reports are created
without any filtering, they are actually using all products and are thus showing totals
for all products combined. However, a product manager in charge of the Bikes line
might want to filter out everything but bikes, while the product manager for Clothing
and Accessories wants to examine those product lines. Therefore, a drop-down
could be added to the dashboard that would allow users to filter the data in all the
scorecards, reports, and strategy maps on the dashboard at once.
