Question

What is the difference between an attribute and a metric? Give an example each of an attribute of a service that is done correctly, incorrectly, or not at all and a metric for it.

Answer 1

The attribute is the qualitative and quantitively of the products and process and contains the software-related process such as envelopment, maintenance, documentation, management, and process instances.

Example:

Attribute include the reliability and total project cost such as process, quantitative.

Matric is the attribute whose value numbers and expressed the relative to specific the unit as the part of the metric.

Metric Rule: It is a rule which is used to measure the length, and it is divided into the unit. Each number represents 1 centimeter, and it has the longest mark.

Example:

Examples of metrics include the source of lines of program and the cost of the project. The metric tool provides a set of metrics and is available in the metric tool's Evolution tab.

Attributes than metric will be called " Qualitative," and it is an attribute other than metric and an example of the qualitative is the reliability of the software product.

The process and product carry over the metrics: Product metric, process metric is the metric if the product attributes a process metric if it is a process attribute.

Example each of an attribute of a service that is done correctly, incorrectly, or not at all and a metric for it.

Attribute:

• The attribute is a property of software products and qualitative or quantitively of processes.
• Objects on reports include the thing such as Attributes is a business concept such as product, employee, month, etc. Attributes provide the context for the metrics and attributes based on the data source data and created by the company's project designer.
• Attribute to the report serves the label of the group of the metrics.
• The attribute on the report server the label of metrics.
• The attributes in the report provide the context to a report.

Metrics:

• A metric is a business measure or indicator such as revenue, profit, employee headcount, and purchase probability.
• From the perspective, metrics are the calculation performed on the data stored.
• The result is displayed in the report.
• A metric on the report shows the list of the values and is used for analytical calculations.
• Create the metrics and use the report.

Explanation:

The object in the group are shown in the diagram. Take a time to familiarize the icons application objects and reports and identify the object in the MicroStrategy interface.

In application Object

Filters:

A filter is the data in the data source to bring the information and answer the required. To create the filters, use the reports and see the filters.

Prompts:

Prompts are the system that is used to present the user during the report execution. Create the prompts and use the reports, and dee the user input prompts.

The object creates the MicroStrategy fall in the three groups such as

• Schema Objects
• Application Object
• Reports and Documents

Scheme Objects:

Schema Objects are created by the project designer and include things such as facts, attributes, and transformation. For the information, create the type of object.

Application objects:

The objects are used to create the reports and created by the report and built the schema objects. The sample of the application objects is located in the Public Objects folder in the project.

Report and document objects:

The report is built from the application object. Report and document are the object and display the calculated from the data for analysis. The report designer creates reports and documents.

Create the derived metric from attribute:

• Create a new matric based on the attribute and added the dashboard. Create a derived numeric value, and the value of the metric is based on the sum of the elements.
• If attributes contain the numeric bale and the values are calculated based on the sum of the elements.
• The age attribute contains the employee age, numeric value; calculate the average age of the employee in different departments. Create the derived metric from the age, attribute, and will aggregate all the employee ages.
• If the attribute does not contain the numeric values, the metric is created as a count metric. The derived metric counts the number of elements.

Create a new metric based on attribute:

• Click the name to run on the dashboard.
• From the dataset panel, right-click the attribute to use to create the derived metric and select Duplicate as a metric. The metric is created and added .
