• MetricDDOCategoryName: string
  The category name.
  To avoid confusion with numeric IDs, the name value cannot be integers only or integers prefixed with the + or - symbols only. It must contain letters or other characters. For example, 1234, +1234, and -1234 are not valid, but US1234, US+1234 and US_1234 are.

  Example: Health
• MetricDDOCategoryPath: string
  Path to the DDO or custom view

  Example: #metric/allMetrics/index?DeviceID=<DeviceID>&TimeRange=now-24h..now&MetricSource=All
• MetricTypes: array MetricTypes
  Metric types included in this category
• TabOrder: integer
  The tab order index for the specific category
