Glossary root topic solved ✅

now, I see metrcs under a collection if I force the metric to belong to a collection

This is what I see from a collection perspective: a business term under glossary and a metric under metrics

Both are related using the 'Related' feature

now, if i look for a first level 'Metrics' menu in the left hand-side menu, it does not appear...

I would either expect a Metrics item in the menu or in the worst of the cases, metrics hanging from related business terms

Now I can create a hierarchy of Business Terms in the Glossary but not the associated Metrics. They are somehow hidden and only visible if added to a Collection...

not even as its own menu item under Glossary, e.g

In the DMBoK framework, a business term and a metric are fundamentally related but distinct concepts, operating at different levels of abstraction and serving different purposes within an organization's data landscape. A business term represents a core concept or vocabulary element within the organization's business domain. It provides a precise, business-friendly definition of "what" something is. It is the foundational, qualitative understanding of a concept, ensuring a common language across all stakeholders. For example, "Customer," "Product," "Order," or in your case, "App Installations." A business term defines the essence of the thing being discussed. A metric, on the other hand, is a quantifiable measurement tied to a specific business term or process. It answers "how much" or "how well" of that business term is being observed or performed. Metrics measure aspects of business terms. For instance, while "App Installations" is the business term defining the concept, "Number of App Installations" is the metric that quantifies how many such events have occurred

Glossary is about business terms, Metrics, on the other hand, is about how the business term performs

For me it would be fine to have Glossary and, down each Term, its related metrics

Let me retry

well, it seem I reused a legacy metric when created as metric,

Just created a property named glossary type and we are good

I have couple more questions about metrics, but I will manage directly with the Account Manager

Hey @quick-house-6813 Also wanted to flag that Metrics have been merged with the Glossary. All Metrics have been migrated to the Glossary as of November 20, 2024. Please see Glossary and Glossary best practices for more details. Do let us know if there are any specific questions about Metrics that we can address!
