Reference: Scorecard Results

On the

Maintain Analytic Scorecard Profiles and Metric Sets

report, you can set up metric sets for an

Organization Type

that is:

Hierarchical with hierarchic content.
Examples:
Location Hierarchy
and
Location
,
Academic Unit Hierarchy
and
Academic Unit
.
Hierarchical with nonhierarchic content.
Examples:
Cost Center Hierarchy
and
Cost Center
.

Depending on the options you select for the metric set, Workday displays varying results in the related scorecards.

Organization Type Example	Content Included	Scorecard Results
Location Hierarchy	No	Location hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Additional Nodes you select.
Location Hierarchy	Yes	Location hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Locations explicitly included in any of the location hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Workday excludes content for subordinate locations that aren't explicitly in the hierarchy. Nodes and locations explicitly included in the Additional Nodes you select.
Location	Not applicable	Locations explicitly included in any of the location hierarchy nodes within the level you select in Top Level Node . Location you select in Additional Nodes .
Academic Unit Hierarchy	No	Academic unit hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Additional Nodes you select.
Academic Unit Hierarchy	Yes	Academic hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Academic units explicitly included in any of the academic unit hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Workday excludes content for subordinate academic units that aren't explicitly in the hierarchy. Nodes and academic units explicitly included in the Additional Nodes you select.
Academic Unit	Not applicable	Academic units explicitly included in any of the academic unit hierarchy nodes within the level you select in Top Level Node . Academic units you select in Additional Nodes . Since Academic Unit is role-enabled, Workday also traverses the Academic Unit content hierarchy.

Organization Type Example	Content Included	Scorecard Results
Cost Center Hierarchy	No	Cost center hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Additional Nodes you select.
Cost Center Hierarchy	Yes	Cost center hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Cost centers explicitly included in any of the cost center hierarchy nodes in the Top Level Node you select. Nodes and cost centers explicitly included in the Additional Nodes you select.
Cost Center	Not applicable	Cost centers in any part of the cost center hierarchy level you select in Top Level Node . Cost centers you select in the Additional Nodes prompt.

Calculated metric values might differ from custom matrix report results that you use as a benchmark source for your metrics. Reports use the latest data from the data source when you run the report, while analytic metric values are a snapshot from the time that you calculate the metrics. Analytic metric values don't include any data that has:

An effective date after the date of the snapshot.
An effective date before the date of the snapshot, but hasn't been processed at the time of the snapshot.

Scorecards also remove inactive organizations by default, while custom reports don’t. However, you can configure your report to filter out inactive organizations.
