Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

With its balanced scorecard, best-practice dashboards, and over 135 key performance indicators already defined, the HPE IT Executive Scorecard is a unique differentiator. The HPE IT Executive Scorecard is an analytical product that renders performance from a broad range of data sources, including (but not limited to) HPE Business Service Management, HPE Service Manager, HPE Asset Manager, and HPE Project and Portfolio Management.
From a business point of view, the need to control information technology (IT) is driving a new level of maturity in performance management. Many organizations turn to executive scorecards to help drive performance and more are now pouring this approach into the context of IT. The out-of-box Scorecards in the HPE IT Executive Scorecard are based around up to four high-level perspectives. These equate to high-level goals of IT or the business. The four used in HPE IT Executive Scorecard are: IT Value, Customer, Operational Excellence, and Future Orientation.
The scoring of those objectives is based on one or more KPIs. In this way, the persona can gain a quick view of overall performance in an area of interest and drill down further if required into the KPI or KPIs that are responsible for the performance score.
KPIs reflect how well the organization is doing in areas that most impact financial measures valued by shareholders, such as profitability and revenues.
A KPI evaluates the performance according to expectations. The context is provided using:
- Thresholds, which defines upper and lower ranges of acceptable performance
- Targets, which records the predefined gains, such as 10 percent new customers per quarter
- Benchmarks, which is based on industry wide measures or various methodologies, such as Six Sigma
- Trend, which is the direction of the performance of the KPI, either Up, Down, or Static
A KPI is a Metric, but a Metric is not always a KPI. The key difference is that KPIs always reflect strategic value drivers whereas Metrics represent the measurement of any business activity. Metrics always show a number that reflects performance. KPIs put that performance in context. Metrics are not matched against a threshold. An example of a metric could be an MTTR (mean time to recover) which measures the average time between the occurrence of a set of incidents and their resolution. An example of a KPI could be an MTTR, which measures the average time between the occurrence of a set of incidents and their resolution, compared to a defined threshold. For example, MTTR less than one hour.
The out-of-box KPIs can be altered to suit different personas or augmented by new KPIs created within HPE IT Executive Scorecard.
