Add a measure query

You can add more measure queries to a process to retrieve additional analysis data from the source system.

For example, every query in the demo dashboard 4.1 is assigned a particular shared favorite in PPM, which supplies the analysis data. Therefore, you should link every measure query added to a separate PPM favorite.

In this example, you add the Delivery reliability measure query to the Other orders process and link the query to a favorite.

You can create a new favorite or use an existing one, e.g., by duplicating it and adapting the requirements (e.g., adjusting the filter to the Other orders process group). Save the relevant favorite in the shared Favorites folder Dashboard\Core\Sales\Other. The folder structure of the demo database in PPM corresponds to the process structure of the demo dashboard.

For detailed information on how to create a favorite in PPM, refer to the PPM Help topics.
