Repeat Step 1: Select a Control and Step 2: Build the Metric for each additional control you want to track.

Manage Metrics

To manage a metric, navigate to Metrics and select the metric you want to manage. 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.

• 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.

From the Metrics page, you can also Clone or Delete existing metrics.
