Metric Directionality

Configure whether increases or decreases in metric values should be considered positive or negative in experiments.

Setting metric directionality

By default, increases to a metric value are assumed to be good and appear in green in experiment results. For many metrics, a decrease is the wanted outcome: for example, page load times and most performance metrics.

For these metrics, you can set the direction you want the metric to move, and experiment results update color-coding in metric lifts accordingly. To configure this, go to any metric detail view page and select the Edit Pencil next to the Directionality section in the right rail to see the Set Metric Directionality option.
