Scorecard Transforms

In PerformancePoint Monitoring Server, transforms are parameterized functions that change the appearance, content, or functionality of scorecards in a dashboard or in PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer. Monitoring Server uses transforms to perform several operations during the rendering process. For example, it uses transforms to expand named sets, flag worst cells, compute roll-ups, and compute aggregations.

The Monitoring Server transform classes are located in the Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.GridViewTransforms namespace (in both Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.Client.dll and Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.Server.dll).

Note

If a transform modifies the data values in a scorecard, the changes are propagated to any Strategy Map and Trend Analysis Chart report types that use the scorecard as a data source.
