The Ed-Fi Dashboard Metrics are organized in a hierarchical structure based on Education Organization types, which are challenging to manage via the Ed-Fi Core Dashboard Data Types Metric Metadata csv files.
The Metric Metadata Utility is a lightweight tool to help manage the logical hierarchy used by the Ed-Fi Dashboards metrics. In this session we will use this tool to review the core metric hierarchy and use it to extend the core metrics by adding new metrics following the core extension principles.
You can download the beta version of this tool from the download panel and follow the installation Step-by-step guide below.
