Hiding Empty Rows in PPS Scorecard

Hi,

For those of you who encountered the issue of removing empty rows in a scorecard, I’d like to tell you about this very helpful link which helped me solve the issue:

In addition, I have some remarks from my own personal experience:

1.       Make sure the DLL is strongly named. There are good posts for that at :

a.       How to install an assembly into the Global Assembly Cache  - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815808

b.      How to give strong name to DLL and how to install DLL in GAC -

2.       Add the assembly (.dll file) to the PPS GAC server, and the [KeyName].snk to the relevant location in all your MOSS servers that will host the PPS dashboard.

3.    Add the line below to the <CustomViewTransform> section of the  relevant Web.config (Monitoring, Preview and MOSS viewers) :

<add key="HideEmptyRowsTransform" value=" MyCompany.GridViewTransforms. HideEmptyRowsTransform, [NameOfMyAssembly] , Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=[ MyAssemblyPublicKeyToken]"/>

1.   Replace  the [NameOfMyAssembly] to the name of your assembly. 
2.    Replace the [MyAssemblyPublicKeyToken] with the public key token of your assembly.
