Measures contain quantifiable performance information. Each measure compares an actual value against a target value to indicate performance. Individual measures are color-coded to indicate measure performance to users.

When you create measures, you assign relationship between measures to create a measure structure. To display the structure, you create a view. You can display measures from different measure structures in a briefing book section. You can also add individual measures to maps. Users can select a measure in a book to drill down into the measure structure and select a measure in a map to open a customized view.
