A dimension is registered at the PPM system in the process tree configuration file using the following XML element:
<usedim name="..." scale="..." refinement="..." variance="..."/>
XML tag |
Description |
---|---|
name |
Internal name of the dimension. The dimension itself is defined in one of the oneleveldim, twoleveldim, floatingdim, timedim, hourdim or searchdim XML elements in the measure configuration. |
scale |
Default scaling of the dimension. The scaling can be changed using the dimension pop-up menu in the analysis. If no scaling is set, PPM automatically determines a value for optimum representation. |
refinement |
Default step size of the dimension. The possible options depend on the attribute data type on which the dimension is based: - Numerical attribute: Value with unit - Alphanumeric attribute (also data type specific): If no scaling is set, PPM automatically determines a value for optimum representation. |
Variance |
Has been defined for future expansions and is not currently in use. |
