Override a Metric Variable Value

Use these steps to override a metric variable value that is listed on the Metric Variables tab.

The variables listed on the Metric Variables tab (Settings > Metrics) apply to all projects in Touchstone; however, there may be instances when you want to use a different variable value for some of your projects. In this case, you can add the variable to the Override Metric Variable Values grid (Programs > Configuration tab) and edit the value as needed. The adjusted variable values apply to all projects associated with the selected program. When you import a new metric file, the values in the grid on the Metric Variables tab are overwritten; however, the values in the Override Metric Variable Values grid are not overwritten.

To override a metric variable value:

  1. In the Navigation pane, in Hubs, click Programs.
  2. If you are in the List view, click the Switch to Detail View icon in the top right corner of the view.
  3. On the Configuration tab, click +Edit Metric Variable Value at the bottom of the grid.
  4. In the Name column, select an existing metric variable.
    The variable is added to the grid with the default value.
  5. In the Value column, edit the value.
    Touchstone saves the change when you click out of the field.
