  • (1): The selection of metrics by standard quality tag name should only be used for an application where the extension Quality Standards Mapping is installed. If not, no metrics will be selected and the table will be empty.
  • (2): To get results on violations or critical violations on a specific metric, add the axis "METRICS=M" where M is a metric id referenced in the Assessment Model.
  • (3): in this axis, you can configure custom expressions as we do in the other components based on (cf sample 12)
