Hi,

When you create a property on e.g. an element you can define a list of possible values.

For those values you can define a Metric. What exactly does this metric signify? And where can it be used?

I looked on the docs page here: Managing element properties | DataMiner Docs but couldn't find an explanation on this.

Hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

Hi Wouter,

Drop down list:

Hope it helps.

Thanks Miguel!

More importantly, it allows for accurate sorting in e.g. the alarm console. Putting e.g. “High” above “Medium” and that above “Low”.

What is the Metric value in the list of Possible values on a property?
