Scorecard reference reports let you pull an existing Summary Report—such as a dashboard, matrix, or heat map—directly into your Scorecard Reports list. This makes it easy to present the same report in multiple Scorecards or set it as the Scorecard’s landing page.

A reference report displays the content of the original report but can have its own custom name.


Creating a Scorecard Reference Report

Before adding a reference report, make sure the Summary Report you want to reference already exists.

Follow these steps to create the Scorecard reference report:

  1. From the left navigation, click Reports.

  2. Open Scorecard Reports.

  3. Click + Add Report.

  4. Enter a Report Name (e.g., Western Division Dashboard).

In the Add Report drawer:

  1. Click Add Reference Report under Report Type.

  2. Under Reference Element Type, choose the element type of the report you want to reference (e.g., Measures).

  3. Select a Template Layout.

  4. Click Save.

💡 Your new reference report will appear in Scorecard Reports with a Reference badge, distinguishing it from standard reports.


Using the Reference Report as a Scorecard Landing Page

To make your reference report the default landing page for the Scorecard:

  1. Go to Reports → Scorecard Reports.

  2. Drag the reference report to the top of the list.

  3. Click Save.

💡 The first report in the list becomes the Scorecard’s landing page for all users with access.


Notes About Reference Reports

  • Reference reports cannot be edited from Scorecard Reports—there is no edit pencil.

  • Any changes must be made to the original Summary Report being referenced.

  • The reference report will always reflect the latest updates to the original report.
