Edit a Huddle Metric

Edit a Huddle Metric

You can quickly and easily edit any components of your existing metrics. e.g the Name, Anchor Points, Description, and Suggestions (also known as Manager Prompts).  When editing a metric you will retain all previous data and history associated with this metric.
Alert
Consider the edit you are making, will it drastically influence how people respond? If yes, you should instead consider create a new metric.

How to Edit a Metric

  1. Click on Huddle > Metrics from the left-hand menu in Teamgage
  2. Navigate to the Metric tab
  3. Select the Metric you want to edit from the list
  4. Make the required edit and click Save
  5. Done!

Here's what it looks like


Explaining the editable components of a metric
  1. Name: The Metric name should be clear and descriptive; all team members should understand what they are giving feedback on.
  2. Metric Type: By default, when you create a Metric it will be on a scale from 0-100. But you can overload a Metric by changing the Type
    1. Standard Metric: These are rated from 0 to 100, 0 being the lowest possible score 100 being the highest. 
    2. Overloadable Metric: Overloaded metrics are rated from 0 to 200, 0 being under the goal, 100 ideal and 200 over the goal. Take workload as an example, some people within a team might be underworked, while others are overworked, 0 is just as bad as 200, neither is sustainable.
  3. Anchor points: Anchor points give context to the user to help them provide their submission. Anchor points include a Label (Eg. Very Well) and the percentage out of 100 that this equals (Eg. 100%).
  4. Description: This is the question that shows up when a team member is submitting for this Metric. While the name is usually only 1-2 words (Eg. Communication), the Description section is the space to give detail and really explain to the team member what to think about.
  5. Suggestions: Also known as Manager Prompts. Prompts appear when you are reviewing a particular Metric's results in Huddle. These Prompts give the manager talking points for the Metric and help focus the team discussion on ways the Metric can be improved.
    Examples of suggested Prompts include: "Why do we think the metric got this result?," "Why has the result changed?" or "What Actions can we put in place to improve? "
