Parent-Child Scorecards

Create hierarchical structures where child scorecards roll up to parent scorecards.

Use Cases

  • Regional Rollups: Store → Region → National
  • Departmental: Team → Department → Division
  • Time-Based: Weekly → Monthly → Quarterly

How It Works

  • Child scorecards contain detailed metrics
  • Parent scorecards aggregate data from children
  • Aggregation methods: Sum, Average, Min, Max, Count
  • Creating a Hierarchy

    Step 1: Create Child Scorecards

    Create individual scorecards for each unit (e.g., each store, team, or region).

    Step 2: Create Parent Scorecard

  • Create a new scorecard
  • In settings, this becomes the parent
  • Link child scorecards to it
  • Step 3: Configure Aggregation

    For each metric in the parent:

    • Choose which child metrics to aggregate
    • Select the aggregation method
    • Values update automatically

    Best Practices

    • Keep hierarchies to 3 levels maximum
    • Use consistent metric names across children
    • Consider timing – children should update before parents
    • Document the rollup logic for clarity
