Metrics properties
When adding or editing metrics, you supply values for the following fields.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Internal Name | The ID of the metric. Avoid spaces and special

| Display Name | The name of the metric when used in Marketing Operations. Note: Limit
this name to three 10-character words (or less). The display limit
in metric rollup tables within Marketing Operations is
