BSC Objects
Objects in the Explorer
BSC objects are stored in the Explorer in the Objectives and measures section on the Management methods tab. There are 4 available repositories:
- Strategy maps
- Perspectives
- Objectives
- Measures
Strategy maps are stored in the Strategy maps repository. A strategy map is a graphical representation of the relationships between perspectives, objectives and measures.
Perspectives used to group objectives on strategy maps, are stored in the Perspectives repository. The most common perspectives are already added to the repository. New perspectives can also be easily added to the repository.
The Objectives repository is used to create and store strategic objectives. Objectives can be grouped using folder and objective objects.
Measures are stored in the Measures repositories. They can also be grouped using folder or measure objects. A measure object whose values are calculated based on the values of other measures usually form a group for these measures.
BSC Menu
The BSC menu includes repositories and actions used for Business Studio Cockpit.
Cockpit is a program interface that displays measure values and objective assessments for a period.
To view and enter measure values, use the following menu items:
My Measures – opens the Repository Window with measures of Person (his/her Position or Role) who is in charge of their achievement.
All Measures – opens the Repository Window with measures of Person (his/her Position or Role) who is in charge of their achievement or is a Supervisor for these measures.
Enter Measure Values – opens the Repository Window with measures of Person (his/her Position or Role) who updates plan and actual values.
To view objective assessments, use the following menu items:
My Objectives – opens the Repository Window with objectives of Person (his/her Position or Role) who is in charge of their achievement.
All Objectives – opens the Repository Window with objectives of Person (his/her Position or Role) who is in charge of their achievement or is a Supervisor.
The values of objectives and measures are displayed for the period corresponding to the work date, which is set in the status bar of Business Studio or in User Settings (Main Menu → Home → User Settings → More tab).
Those measures that should not be seen in Cockpit windows by a user, are listed on the Measures hidden in Cockpit tab in the User Settings (Basic tab).
Limitations of user permissions concerning objectives and measures and their properties are described in the Assign Permissions to BSC Data article.
The Run Autoimport menu item is used to run the automatic import of data (for instance, you can import measure values with it) into a Business Studio database.
