Accessing the Metric Hall
Navigate to More Reports > Metric Hall from the left sidebar. The subtitle reads: "All your metrics in one page."
Filters
Four filter controls appear at the top of the page. All charts update simultaneously when you change a filter.
Filter | Options |
Date range | Preset ranges (Last 3 Months, Last 6 Months, etc.) or custom dates |
Team selector | My Teams, All Teams, or specific teams |
Apply Filter | Additional filters (repositories, members) |
Save Filters | Save your current filter combination for quick access later |
A "Showing all Repositories" badge appears below the filters when no repository filter is applied.
Click Export in the top-right corner to download the Metric Hall data.

Reading the Charts
Each chart shows two lines:
Gray line — the actual weekly data points
Blue trend line — the smoothed trend over time
Hover over any data point to see the exact value and date. Each chart also has a three-dot menu (…) in the top-right corner for additional options.
The "Learn More" link on each chart opens a description of how that metric is calculated.
Drill-Down Links
Most charts include a link at the bottom to the relevant detailed report:
Link | Where it goes |
View Speed Report → | The Speed (Change Lead Time) detail page under North Star Metrics |
View Deployments Report → | The Deployment Frequency detail page |
View Risks Report → | The Risks page with full risk breakdown |
View Activity Report → | The Activity Heatmap (Deep Work) page |
Best Practices
Use Metric Hall for weekly reviews. Scroll through all sections to get a full picture of engineering performance in one sitting.
Watch the trend lines, not individual spikes. A single bad week is normal; a trend line moving in the wrong direction over 3-4 weeks needs attention.
Pay attention to the Risks section. Rising "Merged Without Review" or "Commits Without Pull Request" can signal process shortcuts creeping in.
Save your filters. If you check the same team + date range regularly, use Save Filters to avoid reconfiguring each visit.
Export for stakeholder reports. Use the Export button to download the data for use in presentations or spreadsheets.
FAQ
Q: Can I customize which charts appear in the Metric Hall? A: No. The Metric Hall displays all available charts in a fixed layout. Charts that require data from an unconnected integration (e.g., Deployment Frequency without deployment rules) will still appear but may show no data.
Q: Can I rearrange the chart order? A: No. The sections and charts are in a fixed order. Use the browser's scroll to navigate between sections.
Q: Does the data auto-refresh? A: Data loads when you open the page. Refresh the browser to pull the latest synced data.
Q: Who can access the Metric Hall? A: Both Admin and Member roles can access it. The data shown depends on the team filter selected.
Q: What does "Showing all Repositories" mean? A: It means no repository filter is applied — all tracked repos are included. Click it or use Apply Filter to scope to specific repositories.
