Allow users to receive a link that directs them to a view within the application. Use the Enable Email links option to allow links to appear in the following types of content: in the body of email alerts, in a report that is mailed to them via the Mail link, in a published operational review. This is the default setting.

When a user clicks the link, it takes the user to the view within a component of the application. Users who click links to the application must have access to the SAP NetWeaver CE server and must have access to the components and contexts for the view they are linking to. Otherwise, that user does not have access to the live report.

Allow users to display initiatives across all contexts, or just for the current context in the Initiatives component. Use the Display Initiatives Across Contexts option. This is the default setting. The Initiatives component displays a Show all Initiatives (across Contexts) button.

If a user clicks this button, then all initiatives from all contexts that are available to that user's application group are displayed in the list, respecting whatever filters are applied. Users see a superset of contexts according to all their application group assignments. That is, if a user is a member of the Development application group for Context A and the Executive application group for Context B, then that user sees both Context A and Context B in the list. Users can deselect this button to display initiatives for just the current context.

If you have a large number of contexts with a large number of initiatives in your implementation, it may be impractical to allow users to display such a large number of initiatives at a time. If you deselect Display Initiatives Across Contexts, then the Show all Initiatives (across Contexts) button does not appear in the Initiatives component and users can only view initiatives for the current context.

Specify the number of potential status indicator colors for objectives, initiatives, KPIs, perspectives, and the scored context. In the Status levels section, click either 3 or 5. The default setting is 5 and all objects have the potential to display status indicators in dark red, red, yellow, green, or dark green. If you choose 3, then red, yellow, and green status indicators are available. When defining the Index Values for objects, the number of fields changes based one whether you are using three or five status indicators. This setting is only available for a new implementation. Once you start creating objectives and KPIs, this setting cannot be modified.

Display or hide the Scorecard Comparison subtab in the Scorecard component.

Specify which language for users to receive Entry and Approval email alerts by selecting the language from the Entry and Approval Email Language drop-down list.

Add or remove a watermark in operational reviews. The watermark is an image file (GIF, JPG, PNG) that you upload. You can specify whether the watermark appears in just the title page or in all pages. You can also specify whether the watermark appears in the header, footer, or center of the page, and specify the horizontal alignment of the watermark.
