# Custom measure

If you decided to use a custom measure / KPI that is not part of the basic ProcessMining KPI’s, this is where you can format the custom KPI.

You can set the measure format. Basically this is the representation of the measure. You can set the default aggregation type (like SUM, Average, MIJ or MAX) and add prefixes or suffixes to the measure being shown in your process map (on either Paths or activities)

The example below shows a custom measure that is formatted as Time (in seconds). The extension will automatically use the time hierarchy to represent a logical representation.
