How to Make a Measure

Briefly

Open the inspector and click on the Measures tab. Click on <new>.

Measures hold information about the entire collection. They have two main functions: as parameters that control the collection and as statistics that summarize it.

How to make a measure

1. Bring up an Inspector by double-clicking in a collection or on a case icon.

2. Press the Measures (Mea…) tab in the Inspector. This reveals the Measures Pane.

3. Click the <new> indicator.

4. Type the name of the measure and press .

5. If you want to define a formula for the measure, double-click in the Formula column or use the contextual menu for the Formula column to bring up the formula editor.

6. If you just want to give the measure a value, type it into the Value column.

Once you have made a measure, you can use its name in formulas - for any other measure or for case attributes.
