Measure List Window

Toolbar -

  • Edit  - Select measures you want to edit properties for, then click Edit to open them in the Measure Maintenance window.

  • Help  - Click to open help that is specific to managing measures.

Display Columns – Information on the page indicates the Category a measure belongs to and the status of its Viewer Enabled, Planning Enabled, Planning Allowed, Data Copy Enabled, and Data Copy Allowed properties.

Viewer Enabled – A status of Yes means the applicable measure can be used to create measure items in views. No means the measure can’t be used when adding measure items to views.

Planning Enabled and Planning Allowed – These properties impact the ability to edit measure data in Planning views. A measure must have a Planning Enabled status of Yes for you to be able to make it a Planning Allowed measure.

  • Planning Enabled – Yes means the measure has a status of Update Enabled in Stratum.Connector for Viewer. No means the Update Enabled property for the measure in Stratum.Connector is not selected.

  • Planning Allowed – Yes means the measure can be edited in Planning views by users whose roles give them update authority to the measure. No means planning features will not be active for the measure in planning views. A lock icon displays in planning views next to measures that have a Planning Enabled status of Yes and Planning Allowed status of No. This can be used to temporarily disable Planning functionality for a measure to stop users from making any additional updates. 

Data Copy Enabled and Data Copy Allowed – These properties impact the ability to use a measure as a Target for Data Copies. A measure must have a Yes for both of these properties for the measure to be available as a Target when copying data.

  • Data Copy Enabled – Yes means measure can be updated by Data Copy. You will also need to set up authority to control which users are allowed to update Data Copy Enabled measures. Making a measure available as a Target measure is a two-step process of activating both its Data Copy Enabled and Data Copy Allowed properties. No means the measure is not enabled and also disables its Data Copy Allowed property.

  • Data Copy Allowed – Yes means Data Copies can be processed for this measure. No means that Data Copies are not currently allowed for this measure. A setting of “No” can be used to “freeze" a measure by preventing any user from processing a Data Copy that would update this measure. Users can still select the measure as a Target and save the related Data Copy, but they cannot process it.

Filter and Search Options – You can search for measures to narrow down the list of measures that display in this window. Another option is to filter the window by properties for the measures. Use the Current List drop-down selection list to see only measures that have a Yes status for either their Planning Enabled, Planning Allowed, Data Copy Enabled, or Data Copy Allowed properties.
