Happy New Year! It’s Time to Extend Your Calendars

БогородицаWe are now a few weeks into 2012, and you may be experiencing error messages that look like this when trying to update metric values:

  • Your calendars need to be extended
  • The specified date (January 15, 2012) falls outside of this metric’s defined calendar range
  • Calendar period does not exist.

All of these messages indicate that you need to extend your calendars back or forward. You can do this by going into the Administration section and selecting Calendars. For additional support on calendars, contact our help desk at helpdesk@spiderstrategies.com.

Start and Archive Dates in Version 2.3

Have you ever needed objects to appear or disappear for different dates within your scorecards? For example, you may be measuring electric expenses for 2010 but your utilities switched to gas for 2011, and you want your scorecard to reflect that.

The good news is that you can now set start and archive dates in version 2.3. With these options you can make structure change based on the calendar period selected. To set your start and archive dates, just create or edit a scorecard object and expand the advanced options.

New Website

We’ve just published a new version of our website. Over the last several years we’ve just been adding new stuff to the old one, and it got to a point where everything was getting a little hard to navigate. We tried our best to make everything simpler and easier to find, and we’d love to hear what you think.
