  2. Right below, you can see a area designated for Metrics, click on Create Metric, a popup will appear.
  3. Pass the Metric Name and Initial Value.

Visualizing your Metric​

After creation, you can easily view and understand your metric, just click on it into the Metric section in the website dashboard. Two things can be seen:

  • A chart containing the last 50 days of your metric value.
  • A table containing all the actions that you sent via API.

Deleting a Metric​

Take care
