The Scorecard employs various textual and graphical methods of displaying information in order to provide you with the most detailed and easy-to-use information possible.
Information displays include the following:
- Underlines: Indicate out-of-date cell data, which is described in Step 4: Setting Up a Schedule in Working with Categories.
- Dashes: Indicate that there is no value for the cell.
- Reference Categories: Are displayed, when relevant, in the notation form value/reference value. You can hover above the category value/reference value to display a single tooltip with the value, reference value, and annotation of the category. Reference categories are further described in Step 3: Defining Category Properties in Working with Catetgories.
- Arrows: Displayed at the top of columns, arrows indicate the column according to which the displayed portfolio is sorted, and the direction in which it is sorted (ascending or descending).
- Indicators: Display values as symbols. You can hover above a category indicator to display a single tooltip with the name of the category indicator and an annotation of the category. For more information on indicators, refer to Tour of Scorecards.
- Security Locks: Indicate that access to the cell is restricted.
- Counter: When an item is selected in the scorecard, either by selecting the item name or one of the cells in the item's row, the status bar displays the number of the item out of the total number of items. For example, if "Item: Call Center 5/10" is displayed in the status bar, this means that the selected item is in the fifth row, and that there are 10 items in the portfolio. If no item or cell is selected in the scorecard, the status bar displays "x items/portfolios in portfolio 'portfolio name'".
