Multidimensional scorecard header definition
First Claim
1. A method to be executed at least in part in a computing device for organizing a scorecard matrix, comprising:
- determining a selection of elements to be included in the scorecard matrix;
determining a categorization for the selected elements;
determining a set of header components for the categorized elements; and
generating the scorecard matrix based on the categorized elements using the set of header components to designate the categories.

Abstract
An object model and a user interface (UI) enable users of a scorecard application to define an order and categorization of elements including header and row components to break out the scorecard data for effective presentation of multidimensional scorecard views combined with data from non-multidimensional sources. Users are provided options to select individual or sets of members, or to provide queries that select sets of metrics for the scorecard view. Header components are defined at predetermined depth of layers enabling the user to view categorized metrics. Additional columns providing attribute information associated with the metrics can also be inserted in selected places within the scorecard matrix using the editing

15. A computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions for organizing a scorecard matrix in a scorecard system, the instructions comprising:
-
determining a selection of elements to be included in the scorecard matrix;
determining a categorization for the selected elements;
determining a set of header components and row components for the categorized elements; and
generating the scorecard matrix based on the categorized elements using the set of header components and the set of row components to designate the categories, wherein the categories include at least one from a set of;
a geography, a product, a time, and an organizational structure. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A system for editing a scorecard matrix using header components in a scorecard system, comprising:
-
a scorecard application configured to compute scorecard metrics and provide a scorecard presentation based on the computed scorecard metrics; and
an editing user interface (UI) configured to;
determine a group of categories for a selected group of scorecard elements;
determine a set of layered header components and a set of row components based on the group of categories, wherein a depth of header component layers is determined by a user selection from a default set of layers;
determine at least one flat column associated with an attribute of one or more scorecard metrics; and
generate a scorecard matrix based on the group of categories and the at least one flat column for the scorecard presentation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
