Fill in the Template

Enter data in the downloaded template, starting from the third row.

Tip

For Metric Category, specify the name of a category that already exists in the platform. You only need to provide the category name and do not need to include the multi-level category path. If multiple categories have the same name, the system randomly assigns the metric to one matching category.
