About Status Overrides

You can override the statuses of initiatives, objectives, or KPIs that measure the performance of initiatives and objectives. To override a status, you must be the business owner of the initiative, objective, or KPI. You can also cancel an override.

Note:

Before you can work with status overrides, your administrator must enable this feature. See "Configuring the Repository for Oracle Scorecard and Strategy Management" in Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for additional information.

You can work with status overrides in many places in a scorecard. For example, you can apply a status override to an objective in the "Scorecard editor: Objective Details tab." You can also apply a status override to an objective in the Diagram tab of a view, a smart watchlist, and a perspective in which its referenced.

A status override is associated with:

An initiative, objective, or KPI that measures the progress of an initiative and objective.

When an initiative, objective, or KPI that has a status override associated with it is referenced elsewhere in a scorecard, and the point of view being displayed matches that of the status override, a status override indicator — a red asterisk (*) — is displayed as follows:
- In a watchlist, it is displayed to the right of the status symbol in the row containing the initiative, objective, or KPI. (See "Watchlists" for additional information.
- In a node in the Diagram tab of a view, it is displayed to the right of the status symbol in the lower-left corner of the node.
The status column of an objective, initiative, or KPI.
A specific point of view.

Status overrides are filtered by the values in the point of view area in the "Scorecard editor" that are currently in effect for the object being viewed. As a result, the status override for Eastern Region Sales can be different than the status override for Western Region Sales. (See "About the Point of View Area" for additional information on the point of view.)
Any dimension pinnings on the KPI.

Status overrides are filtered by any other dimension pinnings which are in effect (on a KPI, scorecard, scorecard diagram, dashboard prompt, or KPI watchlist).

See "Working with Status Overrides" for additional information about how to work with status overrides.
