ClearPoint Summary Reports allow you to track multiple strategic elements, monitor trends over time and easily share results with others. Summary Reports provide a comprehensive view of your organization's performance and areas for improvement.
Creating and editing a Summary Report
Knowing both the basics and more advanced options available to create and customize Summary Reports can be incredibly valuable when you want to have a variety of reports for different purposes or audiences.
You have the ability to create a high-level Summary Report for leadership and also create a more granular department-level report for specific teams. Regardless of your goals, knowing the ins and outs of Summary Reports is one of the most valuable pieces of information to understand in ClearPoint.
For this example, we will create and edit a Measure Summary Report.
Select Scorecards & Elements from the Control Panel
Choose Manage Reports
Open Measure Reports
Click on the Plus icon
Under Report Name, enter the name of the new Measure Report, in this example, ‘Matrix Central Division’.
We are going to use Standard Report as the Report Type
A Standard Report allows you to set measure fields as each column. This is the most common type of summary report.
An Alignment Matrix shows the relationship between measures and the measures they are linked to in child scorecards.
A Dashboard report shows all selected charts.
Choose Global Report under Access Type
For Access Type, you have the following options:Global Reports can be seen by all users with access to the Scorecard.
Private Reports can only be seen by the creator of the report.
