analysis metrics

Metrics that calculate strategic analysis values. The following work with analysis metrics:

Strategic Financial Analysis application's Financial Analysis Console
Assets application's Asset Lifecycle Console (Optimization tab) display analysis metrics.

Like tracking metrics, analysis metrics are defined in the Metrics Definitions table (afm_metric_definitions), use the same definition form, and can have trending directions and warning levels.

However, analysis metrics differ from tracking metrics in that analysis metrics:

typically report on a yearly granularity, or they forecast multi-year conditions, such as 3-Year NPV or lifetime IRR, while Tracking Metrics can collect data for different time intervals (day, week, month, quarterly, yearly)
can include both past performance, such as actual energy consumption, and future values, such as estimated energy consumption for future years
are displayed by a view (which can provide interactive filtering), whereas tracking metrics are displayed on home pages
collect values only for building, property, equipment and capital projects, while tracking metrics can have a very wide range of granularities (By Room, By Employee, by Division) which users can define by themselves.
require some coding, while defining tracking metrics can be achieved with minimal/basic database knowledge.
are not processed by the Metrics workflow rule, and their values are not saved to the Archibus Metric Trend Values (afm_metric_trend_values) table. Instead, analysis metrics are updated using the Update Analysis Metric action accessed from the "Aggregate and Forecast Costs for" task available from the Strategic Financial Analysis application and the results are saved in a different table.

Compare to tracking metrics.
