Create A Measure

To be able to create a chart/graph to be included for graphical reporting the balanced scorecard tool requires a unit/product/process of some type to as a measure. A Measure is considered some type of value that is relevant to the business.

It is very important to understand the difference between a Measure and a KPI when setting up your balanced scorecard. As a beginner step think of separating the two like this; KPI = Measure + Measure

Eg. For a fresh fruit business; apples would be 1 measure and oranges would be a different measure. To find out the total fruit (apples + oranges) produced/sold/wasted .etc the total fruit value would be a KPI. So therefor KPI = Measure + Measure in this scenerio would be Total Fruit = Apples + Oranges.

Step 1	Click the Maintenance tab Click Manage KPIs/Measures link Select the Measure option button

Step 2	Type a name for the measure in Measure/KPI Code field Type a description of the Measure in the Description Field Type a measure unit that is associated with your measure. Eg. Per Unit, g, kg, $, L, mb, per pack, kwH .etc

Step 3	Select/Deselect the desired additional option checkboxes based on your requirement. When all complete click add.

Additional Notes	Visible: Enables this measure to be visible to users other than the administrator account. Rollup: When Rollup is selected (selected by default) it allows users to be able to view graphs/charts for that measurement at any level whether it be the lowest level operational site (Eg. Melbourne Warehouse) or a summary level (Eg. Australasia). If Rollup was deselected then we would only be able to see the measurement for the lowest level operational site only. Restricted: Enabling the Restricted checkbox will allow only the Restricted Users group to view more confidential data. Restricted Users can be determined in when managing users and permissions.
