This section shows all the available metrics for current user users and which of them are active in the current model version. Only Kiuwan metrics are available and they are not editable, but users can tag metrics as they need. All available metrics are mandatory: , when a model is published all of them will be automatically added to the current model. This way your analyses will contain as much information about metrics as Kiuwan can give you.
