Hello iCAPpers,

Here is the new help text for the Metric Topic (when editing a Metric) which we changed in today’s meeting:

Metric Topic should be a terse noun indicating the metric being measured <em>(CO2, Bicycles, etc.)</em>.

<br />It will be used as the title of the y-axis in the metric's graph. Please capitalize the first letter.

<br />If you start typing, autocomplete will try to find a matching term used by other metrics.  If no matches are found, your term will be added.

For posterity, here is the previous Metric Topic help text:

Metric Topic should be a terse noun indicating the metric being measured <em>(CO2, # bike paths, etc.)</em> as it would be used mid-sentence.

<br />If you start typing, autocomplete will try to find a matching term used by other metrics.  If no matches are found, your term will be added to the Metric Topics vocabulary.

<br />The following is a sample of how a Metric Topic could be used:

<br /><em>"Increase/Decrease/Maintain ________ by x% by 2015 from 2008 baseline.</em>
