# Metric[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/dashboards/insights/metric.html#metric "Permalink to this headline")

The metric insight allows you to publish a metric about any supported object (dataset, saved model or managed folder).

## Publishing a metric insight[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/dashboards/insights/metric.html#publishing-a-metric-insight "Permalink to this headline")

You can publish a chart insight from several locations:

### From the metrics view[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/dashboards/insights/metric.html#from-the-metrics-view "Permalink to this headline")

Note

This method is only possible if you have at least the “Read project content” permission.

From the metrics view, either in a dataset, saved model or managed folder, you can click on the caret next to each metric, and click Publish

### From the dashboard[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/dashboards/insights/metric.html#from-the-dashboard "Permalink to this headline")

Click on the + button to add tiles. Select metric, then select the data source for which you want to display a metric. If you only have dashboard access, you will only see the datasets, models and folders that have previously been dashboard-authorized.

Choose the metric to display. You can only add metrics which have already been computed.

## Tile display[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/dashboards/insights/metric.html#tile-display "Permalink to this headline")

The tile can display either:

* The current value of the metric as a large display (either a number, a histogram or a list of values).

* The history values

## View insight[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/dashboards/insights/metric.html#view-insight "Permalink to this headline")

The full-size view of the insight always displays the history value of the metric.

No edition is possible on the metric insight.
