Selecting the aggregation method to use for a metric

For metrics other than system metrics or predefined metrics, when you first select a metric to add to a component, Studio uses the default aggregation method for that attribute. You can then select a different aggregation method.

For information on aggregation methods and how they work, see Aggregation methods and the data types that can use them.

You configure the default and available aggregation methods for each attribute on the Data Views page. For information on configuring the available and default aggregation methods, see Selecting the available and default aggregation methods for an attribute.

To change the aggregation method used for a metric value:

  1. On the edit view of the component, the selected metric includes a drop-down icon to allow you to select a different aggregation method.
