Can you view Compass metrics tracked over time?

[Derek Jones]

In this thread it looks like the ability to view Compass metrics over time (ie. a historical graph) was planned for release, but I can't find any documentation about this feature, or whether it was released.

My team is evaluating Compass, and the ability to report on team progress against metrics is a key capability for team leaders.

Hi, @Derek Jones !

While you can retrieve more data points for a specific metric value using Compass' API (here's an example GraphQL query; if you modify the `first` number you can increase the data points to retrieve), I would recommend using Scorecards functionality for this purpose.

Once your metric is connected to a Scorecard, and the Scorecard is applied to components to track their health, you'd have a few out-of-the-box mechanisms to assess metric evolutions and progress. Check out Scorecards > History and Scorecards > Component List to access a few visualizations with aggregates, trends and heatmaps, broken down by specific criteria! (Sample screenshots attached too.)

And if your objective is to have teams adopt some specific standard, metric target or goal, check out the aptly-name Scorecard > Goals functionality in Compass. You'll probably get some ideas on how you can use that functionality to your advantage after watching this brief video presentation, that would do a better job presenting this functionality than what I can describe here.

Hey @Enrique Serrano Valle  Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks, I think I can see there are ways to track the history of how many Components are in a given status (eg. pass, needs attention, fail), and also the "% score" of criterion pass or fail for a component.

Is there any way to see a history of custom metric values?
For example, let's say I have a custom metric that counts how many open tickets with Label 'my-label', for a single Component. I'd want to see the count tracked on a graph over time.
