# Manage Scorecards

Once you have created [Scorecards](/internal-developer-portal/use-idp/scorecards/create-scorecards/create-scorecard.md) and [Checks](/internal-developer-portal/use-idp/scorecards/create-scorecards/checks.md), you can monitor their performance, track trends, refresh evaluations, and view detailed check results. This guide covers all aspects of managing your scorecards effectively.

***

### Update scorecards <a href="#update-scorecards" id="update-scorecards"></a>

You can update a Scorecard's configuration in the Harness IDP admin view.

1. Click **Configure** in the side navigation bar to open the admin view of Harness IDP.
2. Click **Scorecards** to view all available Scorecards in your account.
3. Select the Scorecard you want to update and click **Edit**.
4. Update the Scorecard configuration and click **Update**.

***

### Refresh scorecards <a href="#refresh-scorecards" id="refresh-scorecards"></a>

You can manually refresh a component's Scorecard evaluation from the Harness IDP UI. This triggers an on-demand evaluation and updates the component's score in real time.

1. Navigate to the component in the catalog whose Scorecard evaluation you want to refresh.
2. Click **Scorecard - Overall Score** from the **Overview** page or the top navigation bar.
3. On the **Scorecard** page, locate the Scorecard you want to refresh and click **Rerun Checks**.

This will manually trigger a refresh, updating the component's score immediately.

***

### View check details <a href="#view-check-details" id="view-check-details"></a>

You can view detailed information about each check's execution status directly from the entity's Scorecard view. This helps you understand why a check passed or failed and take appropriate action.

**Access check details**

1. Navigate to the entity details view in the Catalog
2. Click **Scorecard** in the navigation bar.
3. Click a **Check** to view its detailed execution results.

**Passed checks**

When a check passes, you will see a "Passed" status with a confirmation message.

**What you will see:**

* **About the check**: Description of what the check validates
* **Rule Expression**: Toggle between two views:
  * **JQL View**: Shows the JEXL expression that was evaluated
  * **Visual View**: Displays the rule in a basic format showing the data point, condition, and resulted value

**Failed checks**

When a check fails, you will see a "Failed" status with an **AI-powered explanation** of why the check failed and what needs to be fixed.

**What you will see:**

* **About the check**: Description of what the check validates
* **Rule Expression**: Toggle between two views:
  * **JQL View**: Shows the JEXL expression that was evaluated
  * **Visual View**: Displays a table with all rules, their conditions, and the actual resulted values that caused the failure

The Visual view shows which data points did not meet the expected criteria.

### Disable scorecards <a href="#disable-scorecards" id="disable-scorecards"></a>

If you need to temporarily or permanently disable scorecards, follow these steps:

**Remove scorecard components from catalog pages**

1. Navigate to **Configure** → **Layout** in IDP.
2. Comment out the Scorecard-related lines under **Layout** pages to remove Scorecard components from Catalog pages.

**Change scorecard status to draft**

Additionally, you can change the status of all your Scorecards to "draft". This ensures that:

* Scorecard computations will not run.
* Scorecards will not be shown to developers.

***

### Delete scorecards <a href="#delete-scorecards" id="delete-scorecards"></a>

To delete a Scorecard, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Scorecards** section in IDP **Configure** view.
2. Select the Scorecard you want to delete.
3. Click **Delete**.

***

### Scorecard execution schedule <a href="#scorecard-execution-schedule" id="scorecard-execution-schedule"></a>

Understanding when scorecards and checks run helps you plan your evaluations and troubleshooting.

**Scorecard trends dashboard updates**

* The Trends Dashboard updates every 24 hours.
* New Scorecards or Checks appear after the next update at `12:00 AM UTC`.

**Scorecard check jobs**

* Check jobs run twice a day with a 12-hour interval.
* A manually run check triggers its next automatic run after 12 hours.
