Results and Scores

The data collected by measures is called results. Results are expressed in units such as monetary currencies and hours. You can collect results as follows:

Using a result formula
Assigning employees as result collector to enter results using reports
Importing results from an external data source using the Import/Export Flat File Utility. See the Oracle Hyperion Performance Scorecard Administrator's Guide.
Retrieving results from Essbase databases

You specify when and how often to gather results by selecting frequencies. Measures that do not collect results during the period of time defined by the frequency are called uncollected. Measures may be unable to collect results for these reasons:

Results do not exist or are unavailable.
Results were not entered during the collection period defined by the frequency.

Measures use score formulas to evaluate the results that they collect. This provides an overall reflection of performance as a percent..

The result that you want measures to collect, the desired outcome, are called targets. See Targets and Multivalue Targets.
