Overview
Some of the counter's details are editable.
Edit a Counter
Step-by-step
1. Access the "Counter Management page" (Admin Dashboard > Control Panel > Business Analytics module > Counters sub-module > Counter Management page).
2. Select the counter you want to edit and click 
. The corresponding details page will open in edit mode, ready for your edition.
As an alternative, click the counter to be edited to open its details page and, then, click to set that page to edit mode.
3. Fill in/edit the editable fields in the Left Panel and "Metrics" tab, as needed.
When editing a counter, consider the following:
•The alias of the counter MUST match the alias of the corresponding counter profile defined for the MCL application during development (in MCL-Designer).
•The alias of the counter's metrics MUST match the alias of the corresponding metrics included in the counter profile defined for the MCL application during development (in MCL-Designer).
•Match the primary/secondary keys defined here with the keys defined in the counter profile for the MCL application.
•It is NOT necessary to have a primary key to define a secondary key UNLESS a primary key was defined in the counter profile (in MCL-Designer).
•When editing the name/alias of a counter or metric, apply the Naming Best Practices:
▪Use alphanumeric characters (a-z; A-Z; 0-9);
▪Avoid special characters (except the underscore and dash characters);
▪Avoid including spaces;
▪Start the name/alias with an alphabetic character.
•Use the
and 
buttons associated to the selected metric to respectively copy and delete that metric. You can copy or delete metrics in bulk, if you select multiple metrics and use the corresponding button above the table header.
Refer to the MCL-Designer User Guide for more detailed information on the Counter Profile of an MCL application.
