Using Scorecard Metrics in Subsequent Signal/Condition Calculations

[Allison Buenemann]

FAQ: I've calculated a scorecard metric that I want to use in a calculation of a condition. While the scorecard metric is visible in trend view, it is not provided as a signal choice in the drop-downs on the tools or in the Seeq formula window. Can my scorecard metric be used in calculations of other signals/conditions?

Answer: In the versions of Seeq currently available (R21.0.41 or earlier), the scorecard metric tool does not actually create a signal despite being able to be viewed in trend view. The signal from condition tool requires the same input arguments and produces the same outputs, but as a signal rather than a metric, which can then be used in the calculation of further signals and conditions using Seeq tools or Seeq formula. 

If there is a desire to use the calculated parameter (via either scorecard metric or signal from condition) in further calculations AND in view it in a scorecard, we recommend first using signal from condition to do the calculation of the parameter, then referencing your signal from condition in the scorecard metric tool (without actually calculating the metric).
