Import a Metric Library

Use these steps to import a metric library template.

To import a metric library, complete the following steps:

1. On the Metrics tab, in the Import menu group, click Open.
2. Navigate to and select the .aft metric library file you want to import and click Open.
   Acumen performs the following actions:

   • Metrics
     • Merges metrics based on the metric GUID (globally unique identifier). Imported metric definitions replace existing definitions if the metric already exists in Acumen.
     • Adds metrics that don't already exist in the current metric library.
     • Leaves existing metrics if they don't have an imported equivalent.
     • Adds variables and project variables that are in the file being imported that are not in the current metric library.
   • Metric Folders
     • Merges metric folders based on the metric folder GUID. Imported folder definitions replace existing definitions if the folder already exists in Acumen.

       If the folder location is in a new location in the imported library, that new location is used.

     • Adds folders that don't already exist in the current metric library.
     • Retains existing folders if they don't have an imported equivalent.

   If you import a metric with an older version number, Acumen displays a warning. Acumen displays the metric version in the Version field on the Metrics tab.
