Measures store the data for a particular business measure, such as Costs or Units Sold. Measures that share characteristics such as the same dimensions belong to the same cube.
Name
A simple name.
To provide default labels, use an underscore for spaces; Analytic Workspace Manager provides initial capitals automatically. For example, unit_cost generates the name UNIT_COST and the label Unit Cost.
You cannot change the name after creating the measure.
ID
The fully qualified name.
This information appears on the property sheet after the measure has been created; it does not appear on the initial dialog box.
Short Label
A short descriptive name for display where space is limited, usually in mixed case.
Long Label
A long descriptive name for display, usually in mixed case.
Description
Additional descriptive text, which can include mixed case and spaces.
