This opens the “New Metric” page. #### Step 1: Select a Control Select a security framework from the drop-down list, then choose the control you want to associate with the metric. You can use the search bar to quickly find a specific control. If the metric is not associated with a security control, select **This metric isn’t tied to a security control**. When selected, this step is skipped and you can proceed directly to **Step 2**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/04e48772-4346-44a4-aa69-043eca42257c/Images/Documentation/new_metric.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T16%3A23%3A44Z&se=2026-11-06T17%3A23%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5Zw2uyACrKFpcO3%2BPK0RFQsWtrl2lqt%2FG9JStTG%2BM%2F4%3D) #### Step 2: Build the Metric **Control Details (Optional)** Enter details about the selected control, including: - Why the control is important - The risks it helps address - The control owner - Relevant roles and responsibilities ![](https://cdn.document360.io/04e48772-4346-44a4-aa69-043eca42257c/Images/Documentation/control_details(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T16%3A23%3A44Z&se=2026-11-06T17%3A23%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5Zw2uyACrKFpcO3%2BPK0RFQsWtrl2lqt%2FG9JStTG%2BM%2F4%3D) **Metric Details** 1.

The metric details page displays the metric **Definition**, calculation logic, associated sub-metrics, schedule, and configured thresholds. It also includes an **Audit Trail** section that records metric activities, including when the metric was created or modified, who performed the action, the timestamp, and details of the change. The following management options are available on this page: - **Clone** - Create a copy of the metric. The cloned metric is added to the **Metrics** page. - **Edit** - Open the metric configuration page to modify the metric settings. For more information about the available configuration options, see [Create a Metric](/user-manual/docs/metrics#create-metric). - **Delete** - Permanently delete the metric. Any sub-metrics associated with the metric are also deleted, and any workspace tiles that reference the metric will no longer be displayed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/04e48772-4346-44a4-aa69-043eca42257c/Images/Documentation/manage_metrics.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T16%3A23%3A44Z&se=2026-11-06T17%3A23%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5Zw2uyACrKFpcO3%2BPK0RFQsWtrl2lqt%2FG9JStTG%2BM%2F4%3D) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/04e48772-4346-44a4-aa69-043eca42257c/Images/Documentation/metrics_audit_trail.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T16%3A23%3A44Z&se=2026-11-06T17%3A23%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5Zw2uyACrKFpcO3%2BPK0RFQsWtrl2lqt%2FG9JStTG%2BM%2F4%3D) From the **Metrics** page, you can also **Clone** or **Delete** existing metrics. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/04e48772-4346-44a4-aa69-043eca42257c/Images/Documentation/clone_delete_metrics(2).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T16%3A23%3A44Z&se=2026-11-06T17%3A23%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5Zw2uyACrKFpcO3%2BPK0RFQsWtrl2lqt%2FG9JStTG%2BM%2F4%3D)
