    Hi,

     

    Alignment is a simple number field with a range of 0-100 which you can use to enter a score for your project.

    The Business Alignment attribute is a little more complex. It is a calculated attribute that takes data from other fields on the Business Alignment subpage and displays an overall alignment score for the project based on those combined scores. It is configurable so you can change the factors and the weightings that make up the Business Alignment scores for your business.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Tom

    Problem: Business Alignment attribute not display correct data after upgrade.

    Investigation:  After upgrade Business Alignment attribute sometime overwritten by a default value.

    Solution: There are three things where we need to do the changes and make sure that it is same as the client current design.

     

    1. Under Investment object, go to ‘Business Alignment’ attribute and update the calculation formula.
    2. Under Investment object, go to ‘Business Alignment’ attribute and update the display mapping criterion.
    3. Under the Idea object, go to Views and then fields settings to make sure the Business Alignment set as client requirement.

               

    All steps are mention below:

                 

                 Go to Administration -> Studio-> object

    • Filter for Investment object. Go to Attributes and filter for ‘Business Alignment’ attribute.

                 Go to ‘Business Alignment’ attribute and change the name from ‘Business Alignment’ as per client                    requirement.

                 Click on Calculation and update the calculation method if needed as per client requirement.

    • Update Display Mapping as below.
    • Red colour range  should be as per client requirement.
    • Yellow colour should be should be as per client requirement.
    • Green colour should be should be as per client requirement.
