Metric values can be added using the methods described above. However, metrics that use a Source Type of SQL, Data View or Lava can be automatically calculated based on a schedule you provide when editing or creating the metric. The calculations are performed when the Calculate Metrics job is run. As pictured below, this job runs once every 15 minutes to process any metrics that need to be calculated based on their schedule. If you have a SQL metric that takes a long time to process, you can adjust the Command Timeout job setting to allow the calculation to be completed. Metrics can also be calculated on demand, rather than waiting for the Calculate Metrics job to calculate the metric based on its schedule. Simply click the ti ti-player-play button pictured below to calculate any metric that uses SQL, Data View or Lava as its Source Type. Manually calculating a metric in this way will not disrupt the schedule on which it normally calculates.
