If you create a measure definition and load it, and then make a change to certain parameters such as Threshold/Flex Direction, do you need to reload the measure?

How do we determine which parameters when changed require the measure to be reloaded? Would they be only those on the Edit Measure Loader screens?

Thank you.

The parms in the Measure panel don't generally require a reload.
Direction, all tolerance settings, comments, and changing the value of a fixed target, none require a reload. PMF adapts to these changes.

You need a reload if:

1. You change the aggregation method from additive to ratio, percent or to change in percent because these use actual different inbound data components.

2. You change from User-Entered to Loaded.

3. You change to now have loaded Targets, Benchmarks, Stretch Targets or Forecasts from previously having one or more of these be Fixed or Fixed with Aggregation, and you never previously loaded this Measure with that type of Target.

4. You add or remove a Dimension linkage, or the Dimension level values are substantially changed from a Dimension load.

5. You change load settings or formulas in the Measure Loader panel for that Measure.

These are pretty much common sense though. In every case it's because you need data you haven't already loaded or you have changed the way you want data loaded and expect PMF to reflect this.

hope this helps.
