The Scorecard Component enables you to create a Template based on your sales methodology. The Scorecard is created using different types of questions and assigning those questions into different categories.

Scorecards also facilitate category and question syncing with fields on the Opportunity or ClosePlan Object for reporting purposes or to propagate Scorecard data from the Opportunity.

Category and Question Sync settings

Category and Question Sync settings enable synchronization of data from the scorecard template with fields from the Opportunity or ClosePlan.

Scorecard Categories and Questions Sync will show % Score or Score in points.

Individual data can be propagated on the Opportunity layout or in the Reports.

Settings are made to the template from which you want to propagate data. If there are multiple templates (or multiple versions), you need to set up sync for each template (versions) from which data will be propagated.

To assign the sync, the custom fields on the Opportunity or ClosePlan need to be created. To propagate data to the Opportunity layout, the custom fields need to be created on the Opportunity.

Category Sync Setting

Go to Templates > open the Template from which you want to propagate data.
- Note: if there is more than 1 template or template version, and would you like to have data from every template or version, you must set the sync in each template/version.
Go to Scorecard > click the Category Sync settings icon

Select Target Object - the object where you created the category fields (Opportunity or ClosePlan)
From Score % Field or Score Points Field select the created category field. The values must match.
- e.g. If you are setting sync for Metrics scorecard category in %, the field created for Metrics category as percent type must be selected.

Save
Repeat steps to set sync for other categories

Result on the Opportunity Layout:

Question Sync setting

Go to Templates > open the Template from which you want to propagate data.
- Note: if there is more than 1 template or template version, and would you like to have data from every template or version, you must set the sync in each template/version.
Go to Scorecard > click the Question Sync settings icon

Select the Target Object from which the values will be propagated (Opportunity or ClosePlan)

Select other values for individual fields from which you would like to propagate data and Save - The values must match!
- Note: If you don't have relevant fields on the Opportunity to propagate the data, you need to create them.

Target Object - States to which object the values will be propagated (Opportunity or ClosePlan). If none is selected, fields sync will be entirely disabled. Select the object from where you created the Question field.
Primary Value Field - States to which field the value will be propagated
Secondary Value Field - States to which field the second value will be propagated. This field is for yes/no question with single or multi select answers and yes/no free text answers.
Score Field - Propagates the score number of the question.
Score % Field - PropagateS the score in %
Answer - Shows set answers for a question with the possibility to set the sync data propagation on the Opportunity

Text Answer Field - Shows the added text to the answer

Syncing information between Scorecard Answers and Fields on Objects for Reports.

When surfacing Answers in Scorecards, if an Answer is synced to a Field on an Object, only Field question types are bidirectional.

All other question types will only update Scorecard > Object when synced.
