Measure

The measure tool is a standalone version of the measure functionality used in many other areas of the system. Measures are used to define the basis of a report, that is what you are actually measuring. It could be a simple count of Order, or a calculation such as the sum of a database column.

The behavior and functionality of measures is consistent throughout the system.

The standard measure tool can be dragged into reports to add additional measures.

For a simple count, select a function of Count from the Function drop-down menu and then select the relevant table using the generic selector in the Source field. For more advanced measures, select a function such as Sum, Average or Standard Deviation and then select the Source column that the function will be based on.

You can also apply a filter to a measure. Any applied filter will be unique to that measure and AND'd with the report filter by default. Where multiple measures have been added to a document, then each can be filtered differently allowing comparisons to be made

More complex measures that use advanced mathematical functions can be created using the Calculated Measure tool.
