Decision tree hierarchy

The Decision tree hierarchy is used in the C-Suite dashboard.

A DECISION_TREE top node is created in the GLDACCOUNT dimension.

These elements are published under the DECISION_TREE node:

  • Strategies
  • Assigned objectives
  • KPIs: Accounts, account mappings, account group mappings, or calculated metrics assigned to the objectives

KPI elements

A mirrored element is created for each KPI assigned to an objective. This is the format used for creating mirrored elements: <ObjectiveName>_<KPI_ID>.

Mirrored KPIs are published as children under their respective objective nodes.

The KPI_OBJECTIVE_ASSIGNMENT property

Each mirrored KPI receives a new KPI_OBJECTIVE_ASSIGNMENT property, which identifies how the KPI is used in the objective.

These KPI types are available:

  • KVI: Key Value Indicator
  • KPI: Standard metric
  • Driver: Supportive metric

The KPI_OBJECTIVE_ASSIGNMENT property drives the Type element in the C-Suite metrics table.

Automatic Cube rule setup for KPIs used for Objective Assignments

Cube rules are automatically created in the GLCMAIN cube under the KPI Objective Assignment folder. The rules forward values from the original KPI to each of its mirrored objective-specific elements.

Example:

Target: [GLDACCOUNT: 'Objective1_CALC_XXX']

Formula: [GLDACCOUNT: 'CALC_XXX']

Parent-child relationships

Parent-child relationships of the original KPI are replicated on the mirrored KPI elements to preserve drill-down paths.
