Definition of measures, dimensions, attribute calculations, and relations

Measures in the PPM system supply measurable values of process or function instance properties that can be calculated, such as function cycle time in hours or order volume in euros.    

Dimensions further specify the calculated measure values of process and function instances using particular criteria, such as order number, sold-to party, etc. 

The following chapters describe how you define measures and dimensions or attribute calculations and relations and make them available to the PPM system through special configurations of the process tree (see chapter Register measures and dimensions at the PPM system).
