We released Scoreboard and QuickScore version 3.1 a few months ago, and the response has been extremenly positive. Now that the smoke has cleared, we can take some time to go into all of the new functionality in-depth. Keep an eye on this blog over the next few months to learn about all of the great new enhancements in the lastest version of our software.

After almost three years of development, we are incredibly proud to announce the release of Scoreboard and QuickScore version 3! It's been over 7 years since we released version 2, and this major release contains huge improvements to both speed and functionality.

The latest version of the software has a brand new version of the metric comparison report. As before, you can compare similar metrics across organizations. With the new version of the report you can also choose which metrics you would like to compare.

To start building a metric comparison report, select “Metric Comparison” from the new report menu.

There is a new aggregation type for metrics called “Rollup”. This automatically sums metrics from children organizations that are based on the same organization templates.

To set up these automated rollup metrics, first create an organization to be used as a template. Any metrics that you want to be automatically calculated should have the update type of Rollup. Then create templated copies of that organization in a tree structure. Finally, update the metrics in the organizations at the bottom of the organization tree. The metrics in the organizations higher up the tree will automatically have calculated values based on the metrics in lower organizations.

In addition to being able to copy and paste independent organizations, there is now the ability to create organization templates in the software. You can choose to create a templated copy of an individual organization, or a multi-organization template containing an organization and all of its descendant organizations.

To get started, just right-click the organization you want to use as a template and select “copy”.
