Monitoring your key business metrics is an integral part of ensuring your strategy is focused on all the right things. Many customers connect Metrics into Cascade to monitor the trends of the numbers they care about. To learn more on Metrics, please visit the Metrics article.
The "Current State of Metric" widget (similar to the “Current State of Measure” widget) allows you to surface the current progress and recent trend for any Metric you've connected to Cascade in a Report. Use this widget if you want to quickly see how a metric is performing today as compared to a previous date.
