Create a reusable metric - e6data Docs

A metric is a project-scoped, saved SQL definition with a name and description. Metrics capture repeatable intelligence so AgentFlow can anticipate what matters as new data arrives.

Create a metric

Open Metrics in a ready project.
Choose Create metric.
Enter a name, an optional description, and the SQL.
Select Validate SQL and wait for the query to succeed against the project’s bound view.
Create the metric.

The SQL must validate against the project’s bound e6data view before the metric can be created.

Versions

Metrics are versioned. Edit a version, create another version, or promote an existing version to current.

What a metric doesn’t include

The metric definition is deliberately narrow. It doesn’t embed schedules, thresholds, alerts, dimensions, drivers or AI-generated SQL. To run a metric on a schedule or react to it, use it in a workflow.
