Initial Setup for Metrics

Before metrics can be created, a Setup Group must be configured to hold them.

2. Right-click Setup Group type root, and then choose New Object Type.
3. Enter an ID, and a Name such as 'Metrics,' and then click Create.

The Setup Group appears as a child below Setup Group type root.

4. In Object Types & Structures, expand Basic Object Types, then select Completeness Metric.
5. On the References tab, click Add Parent.
6. In the Select New Parent dialog, select the Setup Group just created, then click Select to make it a valid parent.

Next, create an instance of the Metric object.

7. On the System Setup tab, click Maintain, mouse over Insert, and then select Setup Group Root.
