Using sets of indicators
Creating a Set of Constraining Properties from an object of an enterprise
*A set of constraining properties defines the grouping of elementary Measurable properties that should be examined together in order to appreciate the actual performance of a KPIed item. E.g: a delivery must take place within a target timeframe AND at target cost
A Set of Constraining Properties uses either a Measurable Property, or a Set of Constraining Properties.
A Measurable Property or a Set of Constraining Properties can be used by several Sets of Constraining Properties. During creation of a Set of Constraining Properties, you can thus reuse a Measurable Property or a Set of Constraining Properties that already exists.
To create, for example, a Set of Constraining Properties from a business capability:
1. Open the Measurable Property page of the business capability that interests you.
2. In the Set of Constraining Properties section, click New.
A Set of Constraining Properties creation window opens.
3. Enter the Name.
4. In the Owned property Component section, click New.
An Add window appears:
5. Select the Object Type: Set of Constraining Properties or Measurable Property.
6. Select the object that interests you and click Next.
The new component appears in the list.
7. Click Add and proceed the same way to connect other Measurable Properties or Set of Constraining Properties.
Creating a Set of Constraint Values from an exhibited business capability
*A set of constraint values defines the grouping of elementary Qualifying values that should be examined together in order to appreciate the actual performance of a KPIed item. E.g.: a delivery must take place in less than 20 minutes and cost less than 5 euros.

A Qualifying Value or a Set of Constraint Values can be used by several Qualifying Values. During creation of a Set of Constraint Values, you can thus reuse a Qualifying Value, or a Set of Constraint Values that already exists.
