You can create three kinds of scorecards:
Primary—The most important scorecard out of multiple scorecards associated with an employee, strategy element, or accountability element. If an object has multiple scorecards, the status, score, and trend of the primary scorecard are displayed on the view tabs and in reports.
Secondary— Multiple scorecards used to evaluate and represent employee, strategy element and accountability element performance.
Derived— Scorecards that inherit measures and scorecards from a scorecard template. See Scorecard Templates.
