About the Measure Dictionary

The Measure Dictionary is a DivePort page that contains a list of standard measures for a Measure Factory application.

When defining measures in the factory configuration file, you can include optional metadata. When specified in the configuration, the metadata is available to DivePort for use in portlets when accessing the factory.

NOTE: The Measure Dictionary displays unfiltered data.

The following example shows a measure definition in Workbench:

Measure category and measure definition

The category and measure name are examples of metadata that can appear in DivePort on the Measure Dictionary page:

The dictionary entry can include a click action that launches an overview page in the DivePort portal.

The Overview page displays the Spectre expression (calculation and filter), description, definition, reference information and more. For example:

NOTE: The description appears as the Definition and the definition appears as the Business Logic in the DivePort portlet.

DivePort can present an Analysis page as configured in the factory script. For example:

DivePort can also present a Composition page that shows a graphical representation of the measure and the rules that apply. For example:
