Define metrics

You can define the following types of metrics:

  • Standard metric

  • Derived metric

  • Process metric

  • MDX metric

  • Regression metric

Customize index handling

You can enable or disable rebuilding indexes for a metric after the data load via the Property Panel in the same way as for records.
