Metrics are how FYTT tracks what you measure: one-rep maxes, jumps, sprint times, readiness scores, bodyweight, anything with a number. Every measurement you record can drive individualized prescriptions, decision logic in automations, leaderboards, and reports. This guide covers the metrics hub, creating metrics, recording measurements, overrides, and moving data in and out.

Open Metrics from the team's navigation. The hub has two tabs (1):

Each cell shows the athlete's most recent measurement inside the window the toolbar sets. Type in a cell to record a measurement dated on the as of day (3). If the athlete already has a measurement on that day, your value replaces it. Click a column header to open that metric on its own page (see A metric's own page).

Formula-derived metrics, assessments, surveys, and sprint profiles are read-only on the grid: their values come from their inputs, not from typing. A training load's columns, such as its total and its ratio, are read-only too, with no override, because FYTT calculates them every day from the workouts athletes log. Their column header opens the load itself. See Training load. A trend's column is read-only the same way. See Trends.

For a metric recorded in feet, type feet and inches with an apostrophe, such as 5'7, and the grid stores it as 5.58 feet. The built-in Height and Weight metrics sit on every team's grid and read in feet and inches or centimeters, and pounds or kilograms, depending on your measurement system.

Two controls on the toolbar set what the grid shows:

Search athletes finds one athlete, and the filter button narrows the rows to certain Group or Coach assignments.

The grid saves every cell as soon as it changes, and there's no undo: Ctrl+Z does not bring back a measurement a fill-down or paste replaced. To reverse one, select the cells it filled and press Delete. Each cleared cell deletes the measurement it shows, so the athlete's previous measurement in the window reappears.

Besides typing in the grid, you can work one athlete at a time. Right-click a cell to open that athlete's history for the metric beside the grid.

The panel shows the athlete's recent measurements (the window it covers is at the top), a trend line when there are two or more, and the athlete's percentile when the metric tracks one. From here:

Click a metric's column header, or View data on the Metrics tab, to open the metric's own page: a row for each athlete and a column for each date the metric was measured, so you see the whole team's history for that one metric at once. It's also the quickest way to enter a testing day.

Right-click a date's column header to delete that date and every measurement on it. A training load's page has no Add measurement date, since nobody records its values by hand.

An override replaces an athlete's measured value wherever the metric drives a prescription or feeds an assessment or survey formula, without recording a new measurement. Use it when an athlete returns from injury or illness and shouldn't train off their last test.

In the athlete's panel, click Set override, enter the Override value and a Reason, and click Set override. The measured value stays in the history; only prescriptions and formulas read the override. On the grid, the cell shows the override in red beside the measured value struck through.

To change or remove it, open the panel again and use Edit override or Clear. Clearing sends prescriptions and formulas straight back to the measured value. Height and Weight, formula-derived metrics, and training loads can't be overridden.

On the Metrics tab, click Add metric (1).

Choose what you're adding:

Or choose Describe it to Flex and tell Flex how you test and monitor your athletes. It builds the metrics, assessments and surveys to match. See Flex.

For a Metric, give it a Metric name and a Color, then set how it's measured.

Measurement type (1) is the primary result the metric records: Heart rate, Distance, Energy, Height, Power, Reps, Speed, Time, Weight, or Custom. It decides two things:

For anything outside those types, such as force in Newtons, choose Custom and type your own Unit. Custom metrics track over time and work in automated decision logic, but can't prescribe exercise attributes.

Click + Exercise to name the exercise performed to test the metric, such as Back Squat for a squat 1RM. It's optional, and worth setting whenever the test is a specific exercise. + Description adds testing instructions, and once the metric is saved, + Video attaches a demo.

Measurement specifications spell out the testing protocol. Tick every parameter the test fixes besides the result, such as Reps for a 3-rep max, so coaches and athletes know exactly how the metric is tested.

Open Advanced settings for the rest:

Click Create metric to save. To edit a metric later, click its row on the Metrics tab and Save changes.

Turn on Calculated metric to derive the value from a Formula instead of recording it. A calculated metric is read-only on the grid. See Formulas for building one.

Metrics belong to your organization, so every team sees the same list on its Metrics tab and Used by shows which teams have each one. A metric shows on a team's Data grid when its Team metric switch (4) is on for that team. To use a metric on another team, open that team's Metrics tab and turn its switch on. Height and Weight are on every team's grid whatever their switch shows.

Settings (2) holds Scope metrics to team. On, workouts, leaderboards, and reports offer only the metrics on this team's list. Off, they offer every metric in the organization.

To take metrics off a team without losing data, select them and choose Remove from team: the metrics and their measurements stay. Delete removes the metrics and every measurement recorded against them, for every team, and can't be undone.

On the Data tab, Import (5) opens Import measurements. Upload a UTF-8 CSV, up to 5 MB, with date, email, first_name, and last_name columns in that order, then one column per metric named exactly as the metric is. The panel walks through the format with an example, and a column name FYTT doesn't recognize creates a new metric. See Import for how athletes are matched, what happens to duplicates, and fixing rows that fail. To bring results in automatically from a device, see Integrations.

Export (4) opens Export metrics. Pick the Organization, any Groups (leave it empty for all), the Dates, and the metrics, then click Export. FYTT builds an Excel (.xlsx) file with a row per athlete per date and a column per metric, ready to download when it finishes. Every other export is covered in Printing & PDF export.

Measurements feed the rest of FYTT: rank athletes on a leaderboard, or chart and compare them in reports.
