Metrics Preferences
Metrics are the actual physical representation of a metric. They contain a set
of all of the different instances of the metric and a range which specifies the
maximum and minimum values for the metric.
Metric preferences can be set up by accessing the appropriate preference page.
This can be achieved in three ways:
- Window → Preferences → MetricsOverlay → Metrics
- Opening the Metrics Overlay view, and clicking on the cog-like icon
(
) to open the Preference Page,
then clicking Metrics.
- While looking at an active mapping, click on the appropriate Metric
cell and then follow the edit button.
A variety of options provide functionality to this feature. They are detailed
below:
- Select Metric: This drop down box provides the ability to select existing
metrics.
- Metric Name: This text box can be used to alter the name of the existing
metric. You must enter a name that is unique to this set of metrics.
- To be completed...
A series of buttons provide the ability to manage your metrics:
- Add New...: This button allows a new derived metric to be added. Please
make sure that the name is unique.
- Update Existing: This button allows the current metric to be updated.
Please do not change the name.
- Remove Existing: If you have not changed the name of the current
metric, this button will remove it.
