How do I add a shared measure to my benefit?

A measure is a shared measure when it is an enterprise measure or a business case measure. A shared measure can be used in multiple benefits. There are some steps that need to be taken before the shared measure is available in the benefit.

To add an enterprise measure to the benefit and use it:

1. Go to the Enterprise dashboard and click Create Shared Measures. Note: An enterprise measure is an advanced measure. It is possible to share a measure associated with a benefit local to an initiative with the enterprise if the benefit classification is marked 'Advanced'.
2. Open the business case for the initiative this benefit belongs to by selecting it from the business case register or by clicking on Business Case on the program dashboard.
3. Click on Manage Measures on the business case dashboard. Select the enterprise measure you would like to add to this business case and click on the Add Shared Measure button.
4. Open a benefit within this business case. Untick Show only Measures on this Benefit on the Measures register or click on the Shared measures tab in the benefit calculation.
5. Click on the Add Shared Measure button underneath the shared measure you would like to add to this benefit.
6. Go to the benefit calculation and use the M-number that belongs to that shared measure in the formula.

To add a business case measure to the benefit:

1. Open the business case for a certain initiative by selecting it from the business case register or by clicking on Business Case on the initiative dashboard.
2. Click on Manage Measures on the business case dashboard. 
3. Create a business case measure if you want to share a business case measure that has not been created yet.
4. Open a benefit within this business case. Untick Show only Measures on this Benefit on the Measures register or click on the Shared measures tab in the benefit calculation.
5. Click on the Add Shared Measure button underneath the shared measure you would like to add to this benefit.
6. Go to the benefit calculation and use the M-number that belongs to that shared measure in the formula.
