When you add data assets, you can enable autometrics: pre-configured metrics that answer basic data quality questions.

Autometric types

Autometric	Data asset	What it measures
Table activity	Schema	Tables added or dropped
Data delay	Table	Lag between latest timestamp and the time the data was written
Data volume	Table	Amount of data loaded
Category activity	Column	Unique column values added or dropped
Distribution	Column	Distribution of column values
Null Percent	Column	Percent of column values that are null

There are two ways to enable autometrics for a data asset.

Enable autometrics on the Auto Metrics tab

Select the table or column in the Explorer tree.
In the main window, select the Auto Metrics tab.
If you see autometrics listed, skip this step. On the Auto Metrics tab, select Configure Table, and then complete and save the table configuration.
On the Auto Metrics tab, find the autometric you want, then select Enable <autometric_name>. Note that to enable the Category activity autometric for a column, you must first enable another autometric for the column.

You can use the Manage panes to enable autometrics when you add data assets. This method lets you select assets and enable autometrics in bulk.

After you add an asset, select it in the Explorer tree.
On the Actions menu, select Manage (the exact text reflects the asset type).
In the Manage pane, optionally use the checkbox on the left to select multiple assets.
Do one of the following:
- If you are managing schemas or columns, make sure Active is enabled, and then slide the autometrics toggles to the right for each autometric you want to enable.
- If you are managing tables, make sure Configure is enabled, and then slide the autometrics toggles to the right for each autometric you want to enable.

In the Explorer tree, select the data asset that has an autometric you want to disable.
On the Autometrics tab, locate the autometric you want to disable.
On the autometric's Actions menu, select Disable.
