The metric data table enables data collection for metrics across the organization using an easy-to-use interface like a spreadsheet with multiple filters and a task management workflow.

As a data owner, you can access the metric data table by navigating to All \> Operational Sustainability Management \> Operational Sustainability Workspace, and then selecting the Metric tasks icon (![]()) from the side panel. You can then complete the tasks assigned to you. The following image shows the metric data table interface.  
The metric data table offers the following benefits:

* Simplifies data collection across the entire organization.
* Enables you to view all the metrics that the data owner must respond to in a single place instead of navigating across multiple tasks.
* Displays a maximum of 700 tasks at a time.
* Simplifies the process of providing data by enabling you to filter metric data tasks by entity, metric groups, metric subgroups, start date, end date, and approval level.
* Displays the open tasks with the number of open tasks in parentheses.
* Maintains an audit trail of all changes to the data and the users who made the changes.
* Enables you to view the metrics segregated by entities.
* Gives additional information to the data owner for reference such as instructions to follow while providing the data.
* Provides the ability for the users to attach files in the Contextual side panel and attach the relevant documents and links.
* Enables ESG program managers and metrics managers to view the data submitted by the data owners and approve or reject multiple data tasks with comments.
* Enables data owners to view the rejection comments in the Activity tab.
* Helps you to view how the past three data for quantitative metrics is trending.
* Enables you to see the approvers of your task and the approval status.
* Displays the percentage variance of data when compared to the data of the previous period.
* Displays the threshold status if the metric exceeds the threshold.
* Enables you to view the last period's data.
