How to add a new metric

You can create your own metric or edit the existing ones. To make prioritization easier, you can select from multiple metric types:

  • ⭐️ Rating - creates 5-star rating

  • 🏷 Label - creates a set of labels with custom names and colors

  • ✏️ Short text - creates a drop-down with text values

  • Number - creates the field that accepts a number input (non-decimal values)
