Users can input their own data as well. Great for employees who work outside the office, and who would otherwise miss out on data tracking from internal systems. Ex. internal phone system.

Reminder About Manual Entry Data

Data is entered on a daily basis, not for a given week or month.
Data is entered as a cumulative total for a given day.
Data can be entered historically and into the future.

For example, you create a Calls metric. You cannot enter 100 calls for the month of July, instead you must enter 20 calls on July 1st, 60 calls on July 2nd, and 20 calls on July 3rd.
