Adding and editing metric timelines

On the Timeline component, you can add multiple metric timelines. For each metric timeline, you select the view, date/time attribute, and metric to use for the display. You can also change the display order of the metric timelines.

1. To add a new metric timeline, click Add Metric.
2. On each metric timeline, from the view list, select the view to use for the timeline.
   

   If the view does not include at least one date/time attribute that can be used as a dimension, then it cannot be used for a timeline.

3. To select the metric to display on the metric timeline:
   1. Click the metric name.

      Big Data Discovery displays a list of available attributes to use for the metric.

      
      
      

      You can also use the search field to find a specific attribute.

   2. Click the attribute you want to use for the metric.
   3. If the metric is not a predefined metric, then use the aggregation method list to select the aggregation method to use to calculate the metric value.
      
4. To select the date/time attribute to use on the metric timeline:
   1. Click the attribute name.

      Big Data Discovery displays the list of available date/time attributes.

      
      
      

      You can also use the search field to find a specific attribute.

   2. Click the date/time attribute you want to use.
5. To change the display order of the metric timelines, drag the timeline to the new location.
6. To delete a metric timeline, click its delete icon.

   If there is only one metric timeline, then you cannot delete it. You can only change its configuration.
