In what type of workbook must all metrics be created?

Metrics are foundational elements that are designed specifically to capture and assess performance indicators within a defined context. In the realm of Kinaxis RapidResponse, a metric workbook is specifically tailored for the creation and management of these metrics. It provides the required structure and tools necessary for users to define, calculate, and analyze metrics in a coherent manner.

A metric workbook enables users to focus solely on the parameters and calculations relevant to performance metrics without the distraction of other content types that may exist in other types of workbooks. This dedicated environment is essential for maintaining clarity and consistency in how metrics are defined and utilized within the system.

Workbooks like scorecard, standard, and detail workbooks serve different purposes, such as presenting high-level overviews or containing detailed operational data, but they do not serve as the primary location for metric creation. Each workbook serves its specific role in the data ecosystem, but when it comes to metrics, the standalone metric workbook is the requisite environment.
