Create a Variable Field with Variable Values

When defining a metric, if a field to be used in a metric definition is unknown, then a variable field can be created. When an analysis is run, the user is prompted for the actual field to be assigned.

To create a variable field with variable values, complete the following steps:

1. Select the Metrics tab.
2. Select the Variables view.
3. Click New Field Variable. Field Variable x is added to the Variables list.
4. In the Name field, rename the field variable.
5. Click the Add button. Variable 1 is added to the Variable Field editor.
6. Optional. In the Variable Name field, rename the variable.
7. In the Value column, enter a value for the variable.

After you have created the variable field with variable values, you can define the metric.
