Add an aggregation

You can add an aggregated measure query to a process to query the measure performance of that process and thus determine the display of the performance indicator.

Example

In this example, you add an aggregated measure query to the new Consulting services process, link it to a user-defined measure in PPM and display a performance indicator in the process symbol.

To calculate an aggregation query, you must link it to a favorite that is assigned to an appropriate user-defined measure (see chapter Set user-defined measures).

Procedure

  1. Select the Consulting services process.

    The process symbol is highlighted in red.

  2. Click the Add aggregation query button (button_addAggregationquery) in the toolbar.

    The symbol for a query is displayed in the Core processes process group. A performance indicator in the form of a digital traffic light is displayed in the Consulting services process.

  3. Using the mouse, place the symbol at the position of your choice in the Core processes process group.
  4. Click the Favorites settings button in the Queries bar.
  5. Select a favorite with the relevant user-defined measure.
  6. Click the Apply favorite button.
  7. Select the Consulting services process.
  8. Disable the Display aggregated query option in the Process bar if you do not want the aggregation query to be displayed in the Performance Dashboard.
  9. Click the Save (button_saveDashboard) button in the toolbar.

Your changes will be transferred to the Performance Dashboard.
