How to Create Indicators

You can define several indicators (measurements) for each registered objective.

Procedures

To register indicators:

1. On the tree, choose objective.

The System displays the screen of selected objective.

2. Click Indicators, and then New.

The system displays the addition screen.

3. Enter indicator data, such as: name, description, unit (you can create a new one by typing description), decimal places, frequency (time of analysis frequency) and data instructions [define whether classification lines are in ascending order - from red to blue (the more, the better) or in descending order - from blue to red (the fewer, the better)].
4. You must enter the person in charge of Indicator.
5. If you want worksheet values to accumulate for a given period (Sum Column of Values Worksheet), choose Cumulative and define the period.
6. You can also define the Collection data of this Indicator in the Collection folder. Define the person in charge of Collection, a technical description of the Indicator and the Collection method.
7. You may also define a Reference for the Indicator; that is, a market indicator for comparisons. So, in the Reference folder you must enter the name of the Reference, its description, Measurement Unit and decimals, the analysis frequency (for this reference indicator, a values worksheet must be filled out) and the person in charge of this indicator.
8. Click Save to save the information.

The System displays the indicators registered on the menu and activates the Goals folder for the next step: to define the indicator goals.
