probably a stupid question, but I can’t seem to get the alert signs visible in my scorecard component
I can see if I check the “sign” column in the Alerts section that a white space is placed before the values, but the green and red lights do NOT show (in front of the values.)
see printscreen for exact details.
What am I missing? why doesn’t this work?

You need to let the component know where the Alert Values are located. Bind the Alert Values (just above the “As Percent of Target”) to your column F in your example and it should work.
Good luck,

thanks, that did the trick!
BTW
funny why it needs extra guidance to now where the values are located… you should think this was transferred from the general properties tab

I agree, it does seem that it should use that by default. However, there have been occasions when I have used the scorecard to display text information, but wanted alerts to show up as well, and in that case I had to have values in different cells from the scorecard, so I was glad I had that option!
