Configure measures and dimensions
On the Configure measures and dimensions page, you can configure additional process measures or dimensions that are automatically assigned to the data columns.
The columns that are not already mapped to data fields on the Assign process criteria page are automatically set as dimensions (data types Text and Time) or measures (data type Number), depending on their data type. The assignment is displayed in the first table row. Columns that are already mapped on the Assign process criteria page are marked with a dash - and the content is grayed out. This means that no new dimension or measure will be created for this column.
Note that this page cannot be edited if you have opened the page using the View project option on the Manage project page.
Click on a cell in the first table row to configure the criterion settings.
A corresponding settings dialog opens.
Select the criterion type that you want to assign to the column from the Type drop-down menu.
Enter a display name in the corresponding input box.
The display name is used as criterion name on the user interface. By default, the column header is used as criterion name.
Select the calculation type for the criteria from the Calculation drop-down menu. The default setting is Average for measures and Earliest for dimensions.
Click X to close the settings dialog.
Click Next.
Your settings are applied.
If you want to return to the previous wizard page, click Previous. To exit the wizard, click Cancel. If you click Cancel to close the dialog, the configuration is deleted and the Manage projects page opens.
