We have recently completed a project where we trained 70+ administrators to create their own scorecards and metric sets. This was a great achievement but we weren't prepared for the amount of hand-holding that came with the exercise!

I received a call from a user stating that he is unable to change the Data Capturer or Data Approver on a Metric Set he had created. He was experiencing the error below.

I thought it might be:-

  • A corrupt Metric Set (So I deleted the Metric Set and recreated it ....had the same issue when trying to change the data entry user.
  • A corrupt Metric (So I deleted the Metric Set, removed the Metric from Entry&Approval Set Defaults, deleted the Metric in the BI Connector and recreated the Metric in the BI Connector and the Metric Set in Entry and Approval - still didn't work!)

So everything I tried didn't seem to work and I was no ready to pull my hair out!

The solution was staring me right in the face!! The Metric Set name was "C56 RatioEHP'sPop(ACT)" - it had an invalid character!!! As soon as I changed the Metric Set name I was able to change the Data Capturer/Approver!

I thought it was important to share this...you might come across a similar issue and as small as this is...it might take a while for you to realise what the problem is!
