As soon as you determine the key metrics to support the process goals and empower decision makers to improve the process, you need to consider how to best present the tracked information to the decision makers. IBM Business  Process Manager provides scoreboards to help you quickly craft the report  presentation that you want.

The key component in reporting is the scoreboard . Scoreboards are made up of  report . Each report consists of one or more pages, with one or more chart on each page. The charts get the information from data source .

The scoreboard is the way through which reports are shown to the user. Scoreboards appear in the user’s process portal if the scoreboard is exposed to  the user. Each scoreboard can show one or more reports. An example of a default scoreboard is My Performance.

A report can have multiple pages, but there must be a single default report page. The default page typically displays multiple charts together in a single page. The chart drilldowns control the navigation to the other report pages.

Charts define the way in which the data retrieved through the data source is shown to the user.

A data source consists of integration services, data transformation, and filters. The integration services determine the data selected for the chart. The data transformation runs the integration services and transforms the result to fit the  requirements of the chart. Filters are used to limit the amount of data in a chart. The filter is displayed in the report and allows the business user to modify the filter value and refresh the report.
