Overview of Metric Views

Metric View is a visual representation of analytical data (cube), either in graph or tabular format. You can slice and dice the data using the dimension members. You can filter the data that is displayed in the Metric View by adding slices.

For example, you might have a Metric View that contains failure and inventory data on all of the bearing types that exist in a particular facility. Using this Metric View, you can see:

All the bearing types that exist in the facility.
How many of each bearing type exists in the facility.
How many bearing failures occurred last year in the facility.

Adding slices to this Metric View could allow you to view a more specific subset of data to determine:

Which type of bearing fails most often.
How much it cost last year to fix the bearings that failed most often.

A Metric View result appears in Result section. After you create a Metric View, you can:

Note: Metric View is accessible to all users of the application depending upon the privileges assigned to the user on the cube and the Catalog folder.
