Select a Metric

Use the Metric picker in the visual title to change the selected metric.

The Metric picker is what you'll use to navigate and select the metric you want to analyze.

The Metric, Filter, and Group By pickers have two different views.

When selecting these pickers, you'll be initially presented with a menu that contains a search box and list of suggested metrics or attributes, as shown in the following screenshot.

The suggestions are based on the metric or attribute that is currently selected.

You can see a list of recently used items by selecting the search box, as shown in the following screenshot. Only previously selected user created key groups and group by attributes will appear in the list of recently used filters.

If you want to see the entire list of metrics or attributes that are available to you, click See all at the bottom of the picker.

The following screenshot shows the Metric picker in full screen.

1. Search: Quickly find metrics of interest. The solution looks for complete, partial, and case-insensitive matches in the metric names. If no exact matches are found, partial matches will appear in the Metrics pane.

   • Click All to see complete list of available metrics.

5. Expand/Collapse: Show or hide metric descriptions.
