  • Create a manual metric definition to collect the data manually for a metric.

    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_grc_metric.manager, sn_risk.user, and sn_compliance.user

    About this task

    In the manual metric definition, the mode of data collection is manual. An option is available to set up the qualitative and quantitative metrics.
    Note:
    The forms for creating an automated metric definition or a manual metric definition point to the same sn_grc_metric_definition table. The difference between the two forms is the method of the collection.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Risk > Risk Workspace > Lists > Metrics > Manual metric definitions.
    2. Click New.
    3. On the form, fill in the fields.
      For information about the fields, refer to Create New Metric Definition form.
    4. Click Save.

    Result

    The metric definition is saved in the Metric definitions list.

    What to do next

    You can associate an entity type, create metrics, and add citations to the metric definition. See Update a metric definition for more information.
