Abstract

Learn more details about the i4connected Measure Groups and how to set them up for further usage in Measure Aggregations.

Measure Groups specify the KPI and/or Measure Aggregation purpose, allowing the user to group them (e.g. Consumption, Consumption/car, Consumption/sqm, etc).

The Measure Groups panel allows the user to select, edit or add a new measure group. The panel lists all the available measure groups and allows the user to filter them using the measure group name or by description.
