How do I link existing Metrics?
Group related metrics together to create roll-up reporting and increase visibility.
If you have pre-existing Metrics that you would like to group together under a single Parent Metric, you can easily link them by following these steps:
-
Create a new Parent Metric.
-
This new metric must be blank (no actuals, no targets entered).
-
It must be the same type as your existing metrics (Count, Measurement, or Flat).
-
-
Select the existing Metric you want to link.
-
Click on the Metric you want to become a Child Metric (it will highlight green).
-
-
Assign the Parent Metric.
-
Scroll down to the Parent Metric section on the right-hand side.
-
Click the dropdown arrow and select the new Parent Metric you created.
-
If there are a lot of metrics listed, you can use the search feature by typing the first few letters of the title.
-
Once linked, the existing Metric will now roll up into the Parent Metric as a Child Metric.
Note:
-
You can repeat this process to link multiple existing Metrics to the same Parent.
-
Metrics must match the type (Count, Measurement, or Flat) to be linked under the same Parent Metric.
