Command Menu Overview

Metric Insights menu system is rather extensive and can be confusing at times. Command Menu is a tool that helps Users navigate the menu system and conveniently search for Objects and menu entries, rather than Elements (Metrics and Reports).

NOTE: Command Menu is available for Power Users and Administrators only.

Opening and Navigating Command Menu

To open Command Menu press Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux or Cmnd+K on Mac. Command Menu supports navigation via mouse or keyboard keys (Up, Down, Right, Left Arrows, Enter and Backspace).

  1. Search bar: Type the menu entry or Object title in the field to open a shortcut to it.
  2. Recent Objects: This list shows Objects, Editors and Viewers that the User recently visited. For more detailed list of possible options, check Objects Shown in "Recent Objects" Section.
    • When hovering over the option or selecting it via keyboard, the buttons to redirect the User to the Object's Viewer ([View]) or Editor ([Edit]) appear.
  3. Create New: This section is identical to the +New menu. By clicking the option, User can quickly start creating an Element. Power Users will have access only to those Element creation options they have Privileges and Permission to.

NOTE: Recent Objects are not displayed and not saved if the User changes the browser used to access Metric Insights account.
