Prerequisites : this feature is available for users with a Functional Administrator role.

Log in to Io-base and click the button at the top right of your screen, highlighted below :

The Io-base administration page opens.

Go to the Referentials/Metrics management menu.

The list of the metrics is displayed.

Note : The metrics list is displayed regardless of the functional trees.

Above the metrics board, a drop-down list allows you to choose the database you need.

Once the database is selected, the metrics list is updated.

Note : Usually, the production database is called prod.

A search area is also available above the table to help you to find the metric you are looking for.

When the text is entered, the table is updated.

A drop-down list allows you to select a permission and display all its associated metrics.

Note : the results in the table are paginated. You can change the number of results returned per page, and navigate through the pages.

Note : You can combine the search by metric name and permission.

In the table, the symbol Σ is used to identify the metrics that are calculated metrics (results from the Formulas module).

The "Raw" symbol below identifies the metrics for which values are automatically retrieved from a piece of equipment.

The boxed symbol below identifies metrics for which values are entered manually.

To edit the properties of a metric, go to the Actions column, then click on Edit.

The modification window opens. It allows you to change :

Note : If there is no permission selected for a metric, no one will be allowed to view its values.

Different permissions can be applied to the same metric.

Click on Save to save the values entered.

In the Actions column, click on

, then Delete.

A confirmation window appears. To confirm, you must enter manually the exact name of the metric in the area.

Note : for safety reasons, it is not possible to copy and paste in the field.

Warning ! deleting a metric means deleting all its historical values.

Afterwards, if a value is reinserted into the database with this metric name, it will be automatically recreated, but will have lost its historical values.

Only machine accounts can record values for a metric that does not yet exist. Otherwise, the metric must be created, a write role must be set, and the first value must be inserted.

You can access the curve of a metric from the metric management screen.

In the Actions column, click on the "Open in explorer" button.

A new window opens, displaying the metric curve in Indaba Explorer.

There are two ways to add a metric :

In the displayed window, select the database, enter the metric's name, its description, its type, its unit, its storage rule (if necessary), and finally, the permission(s) to apply to it.

Note : The Manual type is used for metrics where values are entered manually. Raw metrics are metrics for which values are automatically collected from a device, for example.

Warning : The metric name must not include special characters (only underscores ('_') and periods ('.') are accepted).

Renaming a metric is an action that must be done with caution. This is why it is only available to members of the Global Support group (Terega Solutions support).

If you wish to rename a metric, please contact support.
