Incorporating Filtered Variables at the Metric Level

You can apply attribute filtering at a global level within your workspace by customizing a metric’s definition from the Custom Metric Editor.

For information about how to add a variable at the report level, see Incorporating Filtered Variables at the Report Level.

Steps:

  1. Click Manage on the toolbar. The administration page opens.

  2. On the Data tab, click Metrics. The list of all workspace metrics opens.

  3. Create a new metric, or open the metric where you want to incorporate a filtered variable for editing. For more information about creating a metric, see: 

  4. In the Metric Editor, insert the keyword WHERE in your MAQL’s syntax if it is not already present.

  5. From the Elements sidebar, click Variables, and double-click the filtered variable to include. The variable is added to the metric definition. 

  1. Click Save. The metric is saved.

Any insight/report that contains your new metric displays data filtered by industry, even if no such filter appears in the report definition.
