A view is a hierarchical structure that displays data similar to an organizational chart. A view includes all the measures and locations for which performance is to be tracked. A performance view typically includes overall performance (the top level of the chart), with your strategic or core values at the next level, followed by a number of measures and groupings. You can create any number of views, which can include some or all of the same measures. These views can be set up for a number of different purposes, but all views share the same database.
