Managing Raw Metrics¶
Metric Management contains built-in standard metrics, but also supports custom raw metrics based on business activities.
Prerequisites¶
Before starting, ensure that the current account has been assigned a menu group including Metric Library. If not assigned, contact the application administrator.
Creating a Raw Metric¶
If the built-in standard metrics are not applicable for your current business activities, you can create new raw metrics according to the following steps.
Note
The built-in standard metrics can not be edited.
Select Metric Library in the left navigation bar, which goes to the Raw Metric tab by default.
Select the created metric library or create a new metric library on the left.
Under the current metric library, select New on the right side of the page, and enter the following information in the pop-up window:
ID: Enter an ID for the raw metric that is unique under the current metric library.
Name: Enter the name of the raw metric.
Data Type: Select the data type of the raw metric.
Aggregator: Select the function of the raw metric in subsequent metric aggregation operations.
Unit: Select the unit of the raw metric based on the statistical type of the business activity. For example, select “m/s” as the measurement unit of the raw metric of “average wind speed”.
Description: Add a description for the raw metric.
Select OK to create the raw metric.
Editing a Raw Metric¶
Select Metric Library in the left navigation bar, which goes to the Raw Metric tab by default.
Select Edit
at the end of the target raw metric in the metric library, and save or publish after modification.
Deleting a Raw Metric¶
To delete a raw metric, ensure that the derived or compound metric that associated with the raw metric is deleted in advance.
Select Metric Library in the left navigation bar, which goes to the Raw Metric tab by default.
Select Delete
at the end of the target raw metric row in the metric library.
Viewing the Associated Derived Metric¶
When the raw metric and derived metric are associated, View associated derived metrics 
ia available.
Select Metric Library in the left navigation bar, which goes to the Raw Metric tab by default.
Select View associated derived metrics
at the end of the target raw metric row in the metric library, and go to Derived Metric of Metric Library to view derived metrics created based on raw metrics.
Importing Raw Metrics¶
You can import raw metrics to share them between different OUs.
Select Metric Library in the left navigation bar, which goes to the Raw Metric tab by default.
Select Import under the current metric library, enter the data according to the template, and import the local raw metrics into Metric Management.
If the imported raw metric ID does not exist in the current metric list, the raw metric will be added to the metric list.
If the imported raw metric ID already exists in the current metric list, and the current raw metric is associated with a derived metric, all field values under the current raw metric except the Aggregator field will be overwritten by the imported values.
If the imported raw metric ID already exists in the current metric list, and the current raw metric has not associated with a derived metric, the field values of the current raw metric will be completely overwritten by the imported values.
Exporting Raw Metrics¶
You can export raw metrics to migrate them between different OUs.
Select Metric Library in the left navigation bar, which goes to the Raw Metric tab by default.
Select Export under the current metric library to export a file in JSON format, which allows you to share and migrate raw metrics between different OUs.
