Setting Up Metric Metadata

You can create metric metadata to process specific groups of your transactional data, based on columns in your record tables. These metrics can help you track essential measures for your organization, such as total sales and revenue. PeopleSoft does not deliver metrics. You can, however, create your own metrics using the Define Metric page. The page also enables you to define security for your metric.

See Defining Dimension and Metric Security.
