    title Check-in
    Now you can not only modify the existing values of widgets in the scorecard dashboard, but also add values to blank fields in your scorecard dashboard. However, if all the values of a widget in the scorecard dashboard are blank, you cannot add values to the empty fields. When you modify field values or add values to blank fields, you can also add comments to key performance indicator fields in the scorecard. Here are the step-by-step instructions: In scorecard dashboard window, click the empty field or the field value you want to modify. In Check in pop-up window, click again the empty field or the field value you want to modify, and enter the new value in New Value, then add a comment in Comments. Click Check In.

You can click Check in History to view these modification histories. If you added comments to the fields of key performance indicators in the scorecard dashboard, you can quickly identify which fields are the key indicators through the comments.
