Properties
To create a metric component, you must first enter the general information of the component:
a title
a description (optional)
the time interval of the date involved :
If you wish to apply a time offset between the time range selected for the entire dashboard and the period for the component, you can enter a time offset value here. For further details, please refer to the dedicated section.
Alternatively, if you want to apply a completely different time range to the component, ignoring the one selected for the dashboard, you can use the "Lock" button.
The "Lock" button allows you to override the global dashboard time range and force this component to always use its own specific period.
To do this, click the "Lock" button, and then select the time range you wish to use:
the number of decimal places of the displayed values

Once the general information is entered, you can select the metrics to be used, by clicking on the Search metric button.
