What must a system architect do to expose business metrics?

To expose business metrics, utilizing the Property Optimization tool is essential. This tool is designed to explicitly identify and manage properties that contain data critical for business metrics. By using it, the system architect can optimize how these properties are handled within the application, ensuring that relevant data is available for reporting and analysis.

This approach allows for explicit control over which properties are used as business metrics, enabling better performance and more accurate reporting. It is a structured way to handle data that aligns with the goals of the business and ensures that the metrics presented are valuable.

In contrast, changing property types to embedded properties does not necessarily focus on metrics and could complicate the data structure. Creating a new case type specifically for business metrics might address the need for tracking, but it is not a standard practice for exposing existing metrics from within data properties. The automatic exposure through the application wizard may not provide the fine-tuned control that the Property Optimization tool offers, making it less suitable for intentional and strategic reporting on business metrics.
