Working with Metric TemplatesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Once you have worked with the charts and found the right way to present the data of interest it is useful to store all these properties as a Metric Template.

Database Studio comes with a couple of predefined Metric Templates. They are delivered together with the Database Studio software. Double clicking a CSV file always opens the default Metric Template belonging to this CSV file. There can not be more than one default Metric Template per CSV file.

Once you change the properties of the chart presentation you can override the settings of the default Metric Template. If you want to come back to the default Metric Template of a CSV file, just restore the default Metric Template.

To restore the default Metric Template:
  • In the Windows Explorer navigate to the folder where your personal default Metric Templates are stored in your Database Studio workspace. (e.g. C:\Users\<username>\sdb\DatabaseStudio\Database Diagnosis \Default Metric Templates).
  • Delete the respective default Metric Templates if you want to come back to the default Metric Templates delivered with your software.

You can also see all your personal default Metric Templates right from Database Studio if you open the navigator view.
