The PkitMetrics.xml comes with the Stages Installation (v.6 and higher) and is stored in the following directory:

[Stages directory]\tomcat\webapps\pkit\WEB-INF\conf\PkitMetrics.xml

In order to customize it, proceed with the following steps:

1. You need to insert your Server-URL instead of “http://localhost:8080”
   1. The further steps are necessary if you originally installed Stages with an earlier version than 6.3 and just made an update of your Stages.
2. Login to Stages as root User (Administrator). Search for “Metric User” in the User-Application, if there is no user with this name, create a Stages User with the name “Metric User” on top level and set the password to “pass”.
   1. There is no license necessary for this user but it is important that the name and the password is exactly the same as in the PkitMetrics.xml.
3. Go to the settings of the Metric User and set the “preferred process version” to “Working Revision”.
4. Create a “MetricRole” in your top level workspace “Company”.
5. To proceed, please choose the substeps regarding to your Stages version
   1. Stages Version 6: Give the following permissions to the “MetricRole”
      1. Files
      2. Processes
