Scorecards are built using KPIs and can include objectives that roll up
KPI values. These rollups can be weighted so that some KPIs contribute more to the
overall score than other KPIs.
Reports are available in addition to scorecards, and include thin client Analytic
Charts and Grids as well as types based on Office Web Components. A Trend
Analysis Chart is available for looking at historical trends and, through the use of a
data mining algorithm, forecasting future trends.
Once scorecards and reports are created, they can be placed on dashboards which
are then deployed, often to SharePoint. Filters can be added to the dashboard that
update all the items on that dashboard at once.
Figure 5-40 The dashboard filter has been changed, updating both the scorecard and the
report on the dashboard.

One of the great strengths of building a business intelligence application is
that it allows analysts and advanced data users to perform extremely detailed
and complex analysis of the data. This capability, often simply called
analytics, goes well beyond the relatively simple and rigidly structured scorecards and
reports often available to the general business users and higher level management.
