About this task

As a data owner, you have to provide data or responses for multiple metric data tasks. The data that you provide comes from multiple sources and there can be multiple data owners. In such a scenario, it’s hard to maintain the audit trail for data input. The metric tasks module enables you to provide data for multiple metric data tasks. Use the filters such as metric data tasks by entity, metric groups, metric subgroups, start date, and end date to select the metrics for which you want to provide data. You can view the responses that you’ve entered, submitted, and also if the dates for data or for response submission are overdue. You can only provide metric data responses for tasks that aren’t in the Closed state.
