Performance Scorecards

InetSoft's comprehensive real-time analytical reporting and dashboard software provides user with performance scorecards that serve to monitor, measure, and manage performance by tracking metrics in real-time. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

Scorecarding is a proven approach for monitoring, measuring and managing performance by tracking metrics. A scorecard is a list of key performance indicators (KPIs), or metrics, that present current performance data for a business process or strategy against goals, quotas, and target trends.

The Style Intelligence Scorecard is a collection of objects known as 'Targets'. Each target helps monitor the performance of a metric. It specifies the metric, how and when a metric's performance is evaluated, what the goal or target is, and what action to take if the goal is not met.

The scorecard provides an easy way to monitor multiple targets on a single page. In addition to checking status, you can drill down on a metric to see more detail, and set up alert notification for a failing metric.

To view the scorecard, simply click on the Scorecard tab in the Portal.

To subscribe to targets, when viewing your scorecard, click 'Show all targets'. You can simply click the 'Subscribe' checkbox next to those targets you wish to add to your personal scorecard. Creating a target involves the following steps:

  1. Select a Metric
    • A metric can be selected from the list of available metrics. The metric serves as the source of data when the condition is evaluated.
  2. Specify the Condition
    • The condition defines the goal or expectations for a metric. The con­dition can be of type: 'General condition', 'Period Condition', or 'Script'.
  3. Select Actions
    • The actions specify what to do when the target condition evaluates to true. Any of the standard actions as well as the custom target actions can be selected.
  4. Specify Triggers
    • The trigger specifies when the target condition is evaluated. Any of the standard triggers as well as custom target triggers can be specified.
