Symphony Metric Sets

This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports

A metric set allows you to select and analyze a set of data in Symphony. It's displayed in your choice of data visualization while you work with one, but can be reused in different visualizations and by other people you share it with.

Metric sets power all visualizations inSymphony. You can work with metric sets one at a time in the full-screen editor, or combine them in a dashboard or another view to edit and analyze them together. This article introduces metric set functions as seen when editing one full-screen, but they are also available when working with metric sets on a dashboard or another view.

The full set of analysis capabilities are available while editing a metric set that is checked out to you, while anyone viewing the metric set is able to access powerful metric set features such as drill down, sorting, and grouping.

Note: When viewing a checked-in dashboard as a power user or above, you can right-click a visualization and choose Data Tools, then Analyze Data to open a copy of that metric set for editing.
