Overview

The parameters provides a user an opportunity during a custom metric creating to have the flexibility to add values that allow for more tailored analysis. There are three types of parameters that can be added: Drop-down list, Date, and Input. With these parameters, users can configure specific values for the custom metric to better fit their needs.

In the dashboard view, users can easily filter a metric with the set parameters. This real-time adjustment of parameters allows the metric to be recalculated on the fly, which enhances the analysis process.
