You can post transactions to a measurement using:

• A measurement journal to manually post transactions. This is useful, for example, for posting values maintained in a system that an element cannot connect to.
  
• Measurement elements to automatically post transactions calculated using the formula.
  

You can specify a weight for a measurement to define its importance in relation to others in the same objective. The combined weight of all measurements in an objective must equal 100. Therefore, the weight assigned to one measurement is directly proportional to the weight assigned to all other measurements created for the objective, such that measurementA + measurementB + measurementC + measurementD = 100.

Before posting to a measurement, you can check your set up and simulate calculations by using:

You can update the values in a measurement using:

The Functions button in the dialog box to calculate the measurement's value according to its formula.

• A measurement journal to manually post a transaction to the measurement.
  

You can update transactions for all measurements at the same time by clicking Periodic > Update measurements.

If you want to delete measurements to which you have posted a transaction, you can do so by clicking Functions and selecting Delete measurements.
