11.5.4 What Happens When You Measure a Business Indicator in a Process Section Using Measurement Marks The BPMN Service Engine stores the values of the measure business indicators associated with the pair of measurement marks to the Process Analytics databases. It also stores the values for the dimensions and default measures for that process section. The default measures that contain average values provide information about the average value for that section of the process. Note: You must only define one interval stop measurement mark for each interval start measurement mark. Defining multiple interval stop measurement marks is not supported and may cause unexpected behavior. Note: You can measure multiple business indicators in the same measurement mark.
