A measure is registered at the PPM system in the process tree configuration file using the following XML element:

<useki name="..." assessment="..." scale="..." refinement="..."/>

XML tag

Description

name

Internal name of the measure. The measure itself is defined in the kidef XML element in the measure configuration.

assessment

Assessment of a measure. POS specifies that high measure values are assessed positively. NEG specifies that low measure values are assessed positively.

scale
(optional)

Default scaling of the measure. A unit of the attribute data type on which the measure is based (e.g., unit HOUR when using the TIMESPAN data type). The scaling can be changed in the analysis.

If no scaling is set, PPM automatically determines a value for optimum representation.

refinement
(optional)

Default step size for the measure when used as an iteration. The value must be specified with a unit (e.g. 2.5 PER_DAY). The step size can be changed using the measure pop-up menu in the analysis.
