Creating a scorecard in PerformancePoint
The standard cubes that are delivered with Dynamics AX include a number of predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that you can start using right away. An easy way to display KPIs is through a scorecard, which you can easily create through the PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer.
In this recipe, we will show you how you can connect to the default cubes to find the KPIs that have already been defined, and use these within a scorecard Dashboard Item to create your own personal scorecard.
How to do it...
To create a new scorecard through PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer, follow these steps:
Open up the PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer, and then open up the workspace created in the last recipe that has the Dynamics AX cubes already defined.
From the Create tab, click on the Scorecard icon in the Dashboard Items group to start creating a new scorecard.
When asked to select the Scorecard template, choose the Analysis Services template.
This will start...
