The values of process instance-independent measures are calculated based on data that is not process-oriented. Process instance-independent measures can be analyzed in the PPM system just like process instance-dependent process measures and be used in calculation rules of user-defined measures, for example.
Process instance-independent measures are not calculated from process instance data. The concrete measure value does not have any process instance reference.
To find out how process instance -independent measures are defined, please refer to chapter Definition of process instance-independent measures.
The configuration of the file import formats (XML, CSV, XLS) of process instance-independent measures is described in the technical reference PPM Data Import.
