You probably noticed when designing a quick report that most of the non grouped column appear inconsistently depending which level of detail you are viewing. The report will display something at the summary level if the columns underlying data is same where as it will show blank records if they are different, this creates a [...]

Often you want to tag additional information to your scorecard whether it is adding additional owners or areas of organisations against measures in your system. Normally we simply create a drop down box in the application hierarchy but once the list gets long it becomes harder to manage and to order alphabetically unless you re-write [...]

Often you will see that if by mistake or intentionally you named measures too long and used the same description in the short description field, users will see a truncated version of the measure name in the multiple measure update form.
Well rather than keep making the field width longer and longer every time something [...]

In CorVu, you can automatically populate your date prompts, based on a pre determined formula.
Firstly, determine the format of the date required (and I am assuming it’s already been set up in the Knowledge Library). This can be seen by simply putting a prompt on the field and clicking a date. In this example, I’ll [...]

I have been asked about this topic a number of times on several sites but never had the chance to really dwell into it further until now. In a new environment where people are getting used to of having reports running in HyperVu rather than usual excel, it’s a good idea to provide users as much [...]

(AIM: Create a monthly or quarterly briefing book online and include CSM maps without a live link to CorStrategy)

With CorVu, you can easily use dates in formulas and mathematical calculations.
The easiest one is to create a numerical column and subtract one date from another, @date1 - @date 2. This will give the difference in days between the two dates.

There is always a need to link some types of documents to your performance management portal (HyperVu), I like prefer the terminology called Information Portal as it covers a broader aspect of displaying analysis. Anyway moving on with the topic, adding links for one or two PDF’s is not a problem but imagine a folder [...]
