When to Rename a Metric

You might rename a metric when:

  • The default name from your integration isn't clear

  • You want consistent naming across your metrics

  • The metric's purpose has evolved


How to Rename a Metric

  1. Go to Metrics in the admin sidebar

  2. Find the metric you want to rename

  3. Click the pencil icon (✏️) in the row

  4. Enter the new name in the modal

  5. Click Save

A confirmation message will appear when successful.


Renaming Restrictions

Some metrics cannot be renamed:

  • Custom/manual metrics — Yes

  • Integration-synced metrics — Usually yes

  • System metrics — No

If the pencil icon is disabled or missing, the metric cannot be renamed.


What Happens When You Rename

  • The new name appears everywhere the metric is referenced

  • Plan configurations using this metric will show the new name

  • Historical data is not affected

  • The underlying data source connection remains the same
