Metrics

Metrics allow you to highlight, on one or more dashboards, the evolution of the metrics concerning the entities of your choice. In fact, creating a new metric automatically adds an insert to the dashboards of your choice.

Composition

A metric is composed of a data, an attribute, an aggregate, a period, a comparator, an alert threshold and a set of dashboards. The data is the entity concerned by your metric. For example, tasks, users, meetings, etc.

In addition to the data, a metric can also be about an attribute of that entity. However, for logical reasons, this attribute is necessarily countable and therefore of type integer or float/decimal. For example, you can create a metric about the size of a file.

It should also be noted that the attribute field is optional. A metric can only concern the data without attribute therefore.

To complete the metric, you need to choose an aggregate. Possible values are:

• Maximum
• Minimum
• Average
• Sum
• Total

A metric is linked to one or more dashboards. In order to display your metric on the homepage of your back office, you must select one or more dashboards.

The aggregate is the arithmetic operation that will be applied to your metric. For example, if you want to know the sum of the size of the files stored in your application, you select the data File, the attribute Size, and the aggregate Sum.

A metric allows you to observe a trend in the evolution of your data. To do this, it is possible to define a period among:

• Minute
• Hour
• Day
• Week
• Month
• Year

Finally, it is possible to set an alert threshold and a comparator to your metric. The alert threshold is a float number to which your data will be compared. The possible values for the comparator are:

• Equal to
• Greater than
• Greater than or equal to
• Less than
• Less than or equal to
• Other than
