Update measure data

The Measure Update page enables you to update data for one or more Perspective, Objective, or Initiative measures, in a convenient web form.

Measure Update page example

To update measure data:

  1. In the Navigation panel, click Admin > Measures.

  2. On the Measures page, in the header, click the Update Measure Data button.

    The Measure Update page opens.

  3. Open the Filters panel: in the header menu above the navigation panel, click the Filters icon.

  4. In the Measure Filters section, from the Select Measure data to update drop-down, select the type of measure to update.

    The type of measure you select here determines the options available in the next drop-down. For example, if you select Perspective, the next drop-down will contain a list of Perspectives.

  5. To update a measure for a specific Perspective, Objective, or Initiative, in the Select a [item] drop-down, select the desired item. Otherwise, leave this field blank to update all measures for that item type.
  6. If the measure is associated with a specific entity or a department within an entity, in the Department Filters section, select the entity and then the department from the corresponding drop-downs.
  7. In the Period Filters section, select one of the following as applicable:
    • All available periods – Returns all records for all periods that have that kind of data. For example, if you are updating Objective measure data, the system returns all Objective measure records.
    • Current Period – Returns all records that have that kind of data for the current period.
    • Individual period – Select the desired period from the drop-down.

  8. Click Apply.

    The filtered measures display in the Measure Update page.

    TIP: To see the detail for a measure, click the graph icon () to the left of the measure name at the top of the Measure column. If the measure has multiple entity or department combinations, a pop-up dialog prompts you to select the entity/department to view.
