Recalculate Metrics

Recalculating a metric does the following:

• Recalculates the metric value (if the metric is a calculated one)
• Checks to see if the metric target value has changed and (if so) updates the formatted warning and danger display values
• Updates the associated metric indicator if any of the above changes requires it

  Note: A Metric item will only be updated if any of the values in the metric changed.

There are five ways for you to recalculate metrics:

• On a case by case basis - when you open a metric item for editing and save it, it automatically recalculates
• Using the Project Ribbon and the Refresh Project Data option.
• Using the Update Project Metrics list ribbon button to recalculate all the metrics in the list

  1. Click Items | Update Project Metrics.

     

  2. Click OK.

• Note: To speed up the Manual Recalculate process, you can add the below as a Quick Launch link to the Recalculate Project Metrics page.

  _layouts/15/BrightWork/UpdateMetrics.aspx?ListName=Project%20Metrics&Source=../../../default.aspx

  See the How can I edit the quick launch? help article for assistance on making this change.
