Providing the EQL query for the Metrics Bar

The Metrics Bar component requires an EQL query in order to generate the metrics it uses.

1. In the EQL query field, enter your EQL query.
   

   Note: When entering your EQL query, remember that all attribute names, including names of derived attributes, must be NCName-compliant. They cannot contain spaces or special characters.
2. The Respect data source query state box determines whether the Metrics Bar values are for the currently displayed data only.

   If this box is checked, then when the data source query state changes, the metric values are updated. For example, if an end user uses the Guided Navigation component to refine the data, then the Metrics Bar values are updated to reflect the currently displayed data only.

   If the box is unchecked, the Metrics Bar component is independent of the data source query state. The metric values remain constant regardless of the data source query state.

3. To validate the EQL query, click the Test EQL query button.

   If the EQL query is valid, the Load Metrics button is enabled.

   
4. Click Load Metrics.

   For each metric in the EQL query, a metric box is added to the edit view.
