This chapter describes the import interface for importing process instance-independent measure and dimension values.
Process instance-independent data takes aspects into account that are not process-oriented, e.g., commercial fixed costs, customer satisfaction, or financial measures, which characterize the financial view of a company.
Process instance-independent measures
The values of process instance-independent measures (see chapter Process instance-independent measures) are measure values that are not calculated based on process instance data. They are imported directly with the referenced dimension values and without reference to process instance data.
Process instance-independent measures can be used as a basis for user-defined measures and thus be combined with process instance-dependent measures.
Process instance-independent dimension data
You can import into a PPM system values of keys and descriptions for one-level, two-level, and n-level text dimensions in advance i.e., before the actual data import (see chapter Dimension values).
