# Manage metrics in Reporting (Beta)

> [!NOTE]
> Early access feature
> 
> This feature is currently available for early access. Contact your CSM for more information.

Rename, edit, or delete a metric you built in Reporting (Beta). A metric is one shared definition for your whole tenant, so every change reaches everything that uses it.

## Before you begin

- You need administrator access. Editing and deleting metrics is an admin task.
- The metric must have been built in Reporting (Beta). For steps, refer to [Create and validate a metric in Reporting (Beta)](/plan-and-pay/docs/create-and-validate-a-metric-in-reporting-beta).

## Find your metrics

Click the **Settings** gear, click **Metrics**, and then select the **Segments**, **Teams**, or **Products** tab. Metrics built in Reporting (Beta) are listed with your classic metrics. You can tell them apart by the pencil icon (**Edit in report builder**) on their row. Classic metrics don't have one.

In the report builder, Reporting (Beta) metrics also have a pencil icon in the **Metrics** group under **ENTITIES & FIELDS**.

## Edit a metric's definition

1. Before you edit, click the arrow on the metric's row and note what the **Definition** panel shows. Metrics don't keep a version history, so this is your only record of the old definition.
2. Click the pencil icon (**Edit in report builder**). The report builder opens with an **Editing metric** chip at the top.
3. Change the measure, filters, or time period.
4. Click **Run** and check the result.
5. Click **Save metric…**.
6. **Optional:** Change the **Metric name**, **Prefix**, **Suffix**, or **This is a currency amount (responds to currency conversion)**.
7. Click **Save metric**.

> [!CAUTION]
> Warning
> 
> - Saving changes the metric everywhere it's used, and you can't restore the earlier definition.

To leave without saving, click **Exit**.

## Rename a metric

Rename a metric in the **Save metric…** dialog while you edit it, or in the grid:

1. In **Settings** > **Metrics**, click the metric's name and type the new one.
2. Click **Save**.

You can also change a metric's **Description**, **Prefix**, and **Suffix** in the grid. Each metric name must be unique within its hierarchy.

> [!WARNING]
> Caution
> 
> - Targets find the metric they track by its name, and the app doesn't warn you when you rename one. After a rename, update each target that tracks the metric.

## Delete a metric

You can't delete a metric while a target or dashboard uses it. Remove it from them first.

1. In **Settings** > **Metrics**, click the trash icon (**Delete**) on the metric's row.
2. In **Delete Confirmation**, click **Confirm**.

> [!CAUTION]
> Warning
> 
> - Deleting a metric can't be undone. Saved reports and comp plan formulas that use it aren't checked first, and a new metric with the same name doesn't reconnect to them.
