Default Reports

By default every scorecard comes with a few standard Summary Reports for each Element Type, every Element has a report named, Objectives, Measures, etc.

This report lists all Elements of this scorecard, plus a few of the more important fields like Owner and Analysis. Each Element Type has alignment matrices that can be used to see the Parent-child relationship between Elements located across Scorecards. This is extremely powerful for seeing how your Strategy cascades throughout your organization.
