    When business indicator and measurement design is complete, analytics view looks similar to that shown in Figure 18-16.

    • Business indicators (counters, dimensions, and measures) and measurements (intervals and marks) defined for the BPEL process are displayed in the Structure window. You can create, edit, and delete business indicators from the Structure window. You can edit and delete, but not create, measurements from the Structure window. Measurements are created by dragging the appropriate icon from the Components window.

    • Measurement intervals and marks are defined as floaters on top of the read-only activities in the BPEL process. The measurement floaters can be moved around by mouse on top of activities in the BPEL process to achieve the necessary topology.

    • The Property Inspector at the bottom of Oracle BPEL Designer enables you to edit the selected business indicator or measurement. Changes are automatically committed.
