Create a metric to perform calculations on your data.

## Before you begin

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

## About this task

To create a metric, you need a metric definition and an entity. A metric definition defines the method for collecting the score for an entity. When a metric definition gets associated with an entity, it creates a metric.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllRiskRisk Workspace.
2. Select the list ![]() icon.
3. Navigate to MetricsMetrics.
4. Select New.
5. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values on the Create New Metric form, see [Create New Metric form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kCdsIkAmraR6wNOhahZzdA "Use the Create New Metric form to create a metric.").
6. Select Save.  
   Note:  
   After a new metric is created, the related lists along with the Details tab are displayed on the form. You can view the metric data overview in the Overview tab. The Metrics overview page displays the metrics data details when you execute a metric along with the duration for which the data is collected.
