The Scorecard period is the time frame for which you want to view KPI measurements. By default, there is no time frame specified for a new Scorecard. You can, however, specify a start date and end date by which to view measurements. For example, if KPI measurements span from January 1997 to December 1997, and you specify the Scorecard period as January 1998-December 1998, you will not see any measurements on the View Scorecard page.
The following instructions assume that the Scorecard is currently displayed on the View Scorecard page.
To change the period of a Scorecard:
On the View Scorecard page, on the Scorecard menu, click the Change Period link.
The Scorecard Period dialog box appears.
If you do not want to specify the date(s) by which to filter the measurements, select the Don't use a filter check box for the Start Date and End Date. Both check boxes are selected by default when you create a new Scorecard. You can use a filter for one date and not the other, if desired, by clearing the check box.
-or-
If you want to specify the Start Date or End Date, clear the Don't use a filter check box, and then type or select the desired date.
Click OK.
The specified dates are applied, and you see only measurements that fall within the specified time frame.
