Multidimensional indicator |
Multidimensional indicators are indicators that group several sub-indicators (dimensions) that make up their values, that is, they are facilitators that should be used when the sub-indicators are similar to the upper level indicator.
In practical terms:
See how to configure this indicator type:
Step 1To configure an indicator from the scorecard structure as multidimensional, enable the respective option in the indicator data screen:
Step 2Then, click next to the desired option to enable how the indicator calculation will be performed: ▪Sum: The values of the indicator dimensions will be added. ▪Average: The average of the values of the dimensions that make up the indicator will be calculated. By clicking on this option, the Hereditary target will be displayed. Enable it for the dimension targets to have the same values as the indicator target. If this option is not enabled, the individual calculations will be maintained for each target of the dimension.
Step 3Perform the other desired configurations and save the record.
Step 4In the General data section, the Dimension section will be displayed. On the side toolbar of this section, click on the button. On the screen that will be opened, the following fields are available: ▪ID #: Enter an ID # for the dimension. Note that it will not be possible to enter the ID # of an existing indicator. ▪Multidimensional: Enable this option if the dimension in question will have sub-dimensions. Otherwise, keep it disabled. ▪Inherit indicator security list: Keep this option configured for the dimension in question to have the same security configurations as the upper level indicator to which it belongs. To customize a security list for the dimension, disable this option. After filling out the necessary fields, click on the Save option in the bottom of the screen.
Step 5In the list of records, select the created dimension and click on the button. At this point, the data screen will be displayed to configure the dimension as desired. See a detailed description of the fields on the screen that will be displayed in the Configuring indicators in the scorecard structure section.
Step 6After performing all desired configurations to the indicator and its dimensions, save the record. Thus, the multidimensional indicator will be created in the scorecard structure, grouping the dimensions. |
