⽥ Required Fields
Metric Name
Entity - These are components of your business that have both a location and time component. It could be users, riders, stores, and so on.
Event Property - These are the properties that are associated with the entities. It could be user_id, age of the user, and so on. Every entity has unique properties.
Aggregation - This field appears as soon as we choose the event property. Here we enter the mode of aggregation, i.e how we want the data to be processed. Here are a few modes of aggregation that the users can choose:

The users must provide an event property that is associated with the entity chosen. For example, you cannot choose vehicle_id when the entity is the user.
