About this task
In automated metric definitions, the data is collected automatically based on the conditions that you define in the metric definition. In the condition, specify the tables that are used for collecting the metric data. For example, if you want to obtain data for all the incidents logged in a particular month, you can specify the Incidents table as a source for data collection.
