unable to use groups in scorecard

[carlos_ai]

l.s.

I've created a number of scorecards and a number of groups. The scorecards contain metrics, which are linked to these groups. So when I select a scorecard I can group the metrics by them.

Now I've added a new scorecard, which only consists of links to metrics of other scorecards. When I want to group the (linked) metrics in this new scorecard I can only choose 2 groups, while in the other scorecards I can choose 4 groups.

How can I solve this?

hi Carlos_ai,

Have a look at creating a Group View, which can be associated to one or more scorecards.

Generally, a Group Type is made up of a number of Groups (which have one or more metrics associated wth them).  A Group View can have a Primary and Secondary Group Type (ie two levels of "drill down") and then these group types can be associated with one or more scorecards.

cheers,

Hi There,
I am currently working on Cognos 8 metric designer..I am having a tough problem creating a score card..i ll explain exactly were i am facing this problem.. i am familiar with metric designer though... At the moment i am stuck with creating a metric type.. and even when i create a metric type by default... i am not able to create levels.. i dont understand the level creation as even if i click on create new level and give ID and Description am not able to create it(It appears as an hierarchy),later if i take it as an hierarchy too am unable to understand the concept of mapping...Here under mapping i dont know which to map.and what to give...I did go thru the PDF files given thru cognos .. wasn t very helpfull.
I would also like to know if you could elaberate on Metric studio s admin role.
I was able to publish the metric package created into the metric store .. but once i create it i am not able to open the package in metric studio..
as in my score cards do not appear, i have a single Chart with no graphical display.
