Goal: To have the scorecards overview report drill down from perspective go directly to measures skipping objectives (there is only one perspective and one objective per scorecard)

Technique … copied the two programs affected so not to loose original PMF code
a_obj_measures.fex
a_get_drill_down_persp.fex

Changes to programs.

a_get_drill_down_persp

I changed this program to drill a_obj_measures instead of a_persp_objective and changed the link to say show measures (curr vs prev)

a_obj_measures,

I added the following code after the line –INCLUDE PMF_BOOKLET_DATA

TABLE FILE OBJECTIVES
PRINT OBJECTIVE_ID
WHERE SCORECARD_ID EQ &SCORECARD_ID
ON TABLE SAVE AS HOLDOBJID
END
-RUN
-READ HOLDOBJID &OBJECTIVE_ID.I11

The good news is, it worked the first time I ran the scorecard report and I was able to drill right to the measures, skipping the objectives.

Please advise if this was the correct approach or if I may have broken something down the road.

Thanks!

Janice,

You got it right, right off the bat. This would be *exactly* the right way to customize the report to skip the objective level and go right to the measures.

Note that if you intend to upgrade PMF later to a new version, you'll have to preserve this customization if you've used any of the same name programs.
