Metric Definitions
This section discusses the attributes of a metric definition.
Note: Only PeopleSoft should modify metric definitions. Modifying metric definitions at your site could cause unexpected results.
Field or Control |
Definition |
---|---|
Metric Identifier |
A numeric value acting as the unique identifier, or key, for a metric definition. |
Metric Type |
Displays the type of the metric definition. Metric types are:
|
Metric Label |
This metric label appears on any page that displays a metric to describe the metric value. |
Description |
Displays a more detailed description of the purpose of the metric. |
Metric Multiplier |
Enables you to manipulate metric values using a multiplier. The multiplier determines how the metrics appears on a PeopleSoft page. For example, if a metric is in milliseconds and you want to change it to display in seconds, you would specify a multiplier of 1000. If the value does not need to be manipulated (increased or decreased), the multiplier is 1.0. |
Display Metric As an Integer |
Metrics can appear as a real number (with decimals) or integers (without decimals). For example, an average duration appears as a real number, while a sum of SQL Statement executions must appear as an integer. To display the metric as an integer, select this check box. To display the metric as a real number, clear this check box. |
User Defined Display Text
This section provides flexibility when you are defining metrics. For example, you can assign labels to particular values that are returned by functions. Based on a particular return value, the system displays various label values. Typically, this would be used in the case of Boolean values, such as the case with metric 23, Is this a Pagelet. If a 0 is returned, the system displays No. If a 1 is returned, the system displays Yes.
