Measure Proxy Metrics

What is a measure proxy metric?​

Measure proxy metrics are metrics that refer directly to a measure. These metrics only refer to one measure.

tip

If you've already defined the measure with the create_metric: true parameter passed, you do not need to create measure proxies. However, if you want to include a constraint in the final metric, you will need to define and create a measure proxy metric.

  type: measure_proxy # Measure_proxies are pointers to a measure you created in a data source
  type_params:
    measure: cancellations_usd # The measure you are creating a proxy of.
  # For any metric optionally include a constraint string which applies a dimensional filter when computing the metric
