The Spreadsheet template allows you to easily to review, edit and aggregate collections of data from across the repository from one window.
With the new dynamic spreadsheet, editing content from the web has never been easier.

Purpose: The purpose of the Performance Diagram is to provide a view over an organization’s performance in reaching their strategic goals.
Core concerns: The Performance Diagram enables you to model Key Performance Indicators – which can be related to strategic goals, derivative Performance Indicators and Derivation Rules. You can create a Performance Diagram as a decomposition of a Key Performance Indicator and model a hierarchy of performance diagrams. The model below shows an overview of an organizations Key Performance Indicators and their status:
In the following model the Key Performance Indicator has been enriched with derivative performance indicators explaining in more details the status of the performance and how it is measured:
The overview of the Key Performance Indicators can also be presented with a simplistic view, highlighting their status using color coded icons:
Relation to other templates: The Performance Diagram is a Strategic template and can be decomposed from Key Performance indicators contained in, for example, a Balanced Scorecard Diagram or Dashboard.
Properties and metadata: The Performance Diagram can for example retain the following information:
The above picture shows the properties dialogue window for the Performance Diagram where you can view and edit the diagram’s properties in QualiWare Lifecycle Manager.
Purpose: The purpose of the Query Design template is to enable easy design of Generic Queries.
Core concerns: The Query Design template enables you to model Object Queries and Relation Queries into Generic Queries. When creating a Query Design, a Generic Query will be generated automatically and appear graphically on the diagram as a white triangle in a green circle – see the model below:
Relation to other templates: The Query Design template is used to generate Generic Query templates which can be used in creating Report Definitions, Spreadsheets and HTMLQueryResultViews.
Properties and Metadata: The Query Design Template can for example rentain the following information:
The above pictures show the properties dialogue window for the Query Design Template where you can view and edit the diagram’s properties in QualiWare Lifecycle Manager
You can see an example of a Query Design in the QualiTube sections, where there is a video on Composity Query Design.

Purpose: The Purpose of the Generic Query template is to provide datasets for QualiWare System templates.
Core concerns: The Generic Query template is an auxiliary template. The Generic Query can be created using a Query Design template which enables you to easily structure the query for creating reports. When creating a Report for a diagram, the Generic Query created using the Query Design should be used as a Data Set in the Report Definition.
A Generic Query can also be generated using its Property Dialog, where you can link to Data Source and filter the data selection using a wizard – see example of the property dialog below:
The Generic Query can, for example, take the form of data sheets:
The Generic Query template can also execute a command using the Advanced Query tab:
Relation to other templates: Generic Queries are automatically created when creating a Query Design. Generic Queries are used in the following templates: HTML Template Definitions, HTML Embedded content, HTML Publisher and HTML Content tab.
Properties and Metadata: The Generic Query can for example rentain the following information:
The above picture shows the properties dialogue window for the Generic Query where you can view and edit the diagram’s properties in QualiWare Lifecycle Manager.

For a quick introduction to BusinessCharts please see the video below as it explains how to create a BusinessChart based on Pie charts.
The video contains:
Purpose: The purpose of the Business Chart template is to create different graphs and charts using information from other diagrams and templates. The Business charts can then either be published on a Dashboard and/or stored.
Core concerns: The Business Chart template is concerned with analyzing other templates and models. Therefore, it is not modelled like a typical template, but created using the Chart Wizard found in the template’s property window:
Below, you can see the Chart Wizard that helps you create your Business Chart:
The Business Chart template can for example be used to generate a chart over how the capabilities or Key Performance Indicators of an enterprise are performing over time or compared to desired values. Additionally, Business Charts can be used to analyze static data entered in a Matrix model. You choose the input to your Business Chart as a ‘Data Source’ in the templates metadata (see figure under Metadata).
Below, you can see two very different examples of business charts:
Relation to other templates: The Business Charts are published using the Dashboard template.
Properties and metadata: The Business Chart template can for example retain the following information:
The above picture shows the properties dialogue window for the Business Chart Template where you can view and edit the diagram’s properties in QualiWare Lifecycle Manager.
