Release 2014-06-22: Scorecard Permissions

You are now in full control of who can view and edit each entity!
Scorecard Permissions protect against accidental editing and can protect against unauthorized viewing of metric details and tactics. The structure of the entities, functions, and processes are still always visible to everyone, but all metric data, graphs, Pareto charts, and Scorecard-only tactics can be hidden.
You can restrict view access on the top-level entity (and all those below), or leave the upper levels visible company-wide and only limit access to the lower-level entities.

Release 2013-12-31: Multiple Strategy Tags

Now you can add as many tags as you like to any objective/strategy. As you type a new tag, the system will try to suggest existing tags for you to choose from, but still let you type in a new tag if you wish.

Also

  • A new Tags list screen (available from the green top-navigation) shows all tags in the system and lets you add new ones or modify/delete old ones.
  • Click on any tag to see a report of every item that uses it!
  • Search still includes tags, but now takes you to the Tags list screen.
  • The Plan Status page filters on tags just like it used to, only now you can have more of them!

Release 2013-12-06: Search

  • Now find anything in the system instantly with the new Search box in the upper right hand corner of every screen.
    Just start typing and search results will appear. Hover over a search result for a description. Click on a result to navigate to it.
  • In addition to being calculated by the system, Scorecard Metrics can now have Quarter-to-date and Year-to-date values entered manually.
  • The Business Unit CSV download now includes 2 new columns. The Cumulative? column indicates whether QTD/YTD values are Not Cumulative, User-Entered, or System-Calculated. The Load? column indicates whether the metric is Manual, Batch-Loaded, or Financial (which is also batch-loaded).
  • New screens: Instances of a Function Type and Instances of a Process Type provide additional perspectives on your Scorecards. Look for the little blue view instances link on the Function Types and Process Types list screens (and in search results).
  • Pareto charts and Variance Analyses can now be displayed separately on the Process Review screen.
