Example 4. Example
You are the regional manager for a string of retail stores in the state of California. You create the Sales_SC scorecard on the Sales table.
You set the following thresholds for the Sales_amt metric in the Sales_SC scorecard:
To capture the sales data on a daily basis, you use the scheduler service to run the scorecards every night on the Sales table. You prepare a monthly report for the management for the month of May and you use the scorecard dashboard to verify your report. For the month of May, when you click the vertical bars for Unacceptable metrics and Good metrics in the chart, the Sales_SC scorecard appears in the assets list pane.
When you analyse the sales across the month, you find the following trend:

  2. 2. In the last week of May, due to a rise in sales, the Sales_amt metric is computed above 98% and is marked as a good metric.
