Configuring the Performance Scorecard Dashboard

The Performance Scorecard view holds the Siebel Analytics Performance Scorecard dashboard. Before the dashboard can be used, you must confirm that the integration between the Performance Scorecard dashboard and the Siebel application is occurring properly.

NOTE:  Siebel Analytics application versions prior to Siebel Analytics 7.8 do not include the Performance Scorecard dashboard.

In addition, if you plan to use the Performance Scorecard Parent-Child Objectives feature, you must configure this feature within the Performance Scorecard application.

The Parent-Child Objectives feature allows end users to link objectives so that there is a line-of-sight view of who is working on which objectives in the organization. Each user can select an objective from the current period as a parent objective, establishing a connection with an entire chain of objectives.

This chain of objectives activates the drill path functionality that occurs in the Analytics Scorecard view within the Performance Scorecard dashboard. If the chain of objectives is not established, automatic drill-path functionality is not available, although a method can be employed by using Siebel Answers functionality.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Performance Scorecard.
